UK cyclist Bradley Wiggins angry over Tour de France

bradley British cyclist Bradley Wiggins has hit out at the Tour de France saying that this year the race has lost all credibility.

Bradley Wiggins, 27, had been forced to withdraw from the Tour de France after a Cofidis team-mate, Cristian Moreni tested positive for the banned hormone testosterone.

Bradley Wiggins said: "This year's Tour has lost all credibility. It's null and void as far as I am concerned this year."

And Bradley Wiggins added: "I certainly won't go back (to the Tour) next year but that decision had already been made as the Olympic Games next year are my priority.

"The first 24 hours after it happened my initial reaction was that I was going to get out of the sport just through sheer anger."

Bradley Wiggins thinks there should be life bans for those caught using drugs but he maintained: "I'm angered by it. It's made me more determined to prove there can be clean winners even stronger."
