Bradley Wiggins heaps praise on Lance Armstrong for helping him get sober
Bradley Wiggins has described disgraced cyclist Lance Armstrong as an 'inspiration' and thanked him for his support in the five-time Olympic champion's battle with drug addiction. Wiggins revealed last month that he became addicted to cocaine following his retirement from the sport in 2016. The 2012 Tour de France winner is now 12 months sober and attends regular therapy sessions, but paid tribute to the role of Armstrong, who was stripped of his cycling titles for using performance-enhancing drugs. Asked about Armstrong, Wiggins told BBC Five Live: 'He's been a great strength to me and a great inspiration to me, and it's on a human level. 'Lance has been very, very good to me. That's not something everyone wants to hear because people only like to hear the bad stuff. 'You can only take someone how they treat you and Lance has been a source of inspiration to me and a constant source of help towards me. And is one of the main factors why I'm in this position I am today mentally and physically, so, I'm indebted to him for that.' Wiggins admitted he does not speak with Armstrong every day, but will work for him this summer on his podcast The Move at the Tour de France. The 45-year-old father-of-two has been candid since retirement about the sexual abuse he experienced as a teenager and his drug addiction. 'We are all humans at the end of the day and it is a human story and I've had lots of events in my life that informed the problems I had in my life post-cycling,' Wiggins explained. 'I'd never had therapy or counselling during my time as a cyclist because you're perceived as a cyclist – or certainly when you're an Olympic champion or the Tour de France winner – to be incredibly mentally strong. 'It took me a long time to adapt to normal life, as it were, and all the things that contribute to keeping me in a steady place.'
