Bradley Wiggins first publicly revealed he was sexually abused as a child almost by accident during an interview with Alastair Campbell for Men’s Health in 2022.
Wiggins had no plans to speak about what his cycling coach, Stan Knight, did to him on training camps as a teenager. But when Campbell asked, “What else were you running from?” when Wiggins walked away from the Tour de France after winning the race in 2012, Wiggins replied: “A lot of stuff. I was groomed by a coach when I was younger – I was about 13 – and I never fully accepted that.”
