British Cycling have sent a safeguarding team to reach out to Bradley Wiggins and offer their ‘full support’ after the Tour de France winner said he was sexually groomed by a coach when he was just 13 years old.
Wiggins won the 2012 Tour and secured Olympic gold medals at the Athens, Beijing, London and Rio Games to go down as one of the greatest athletes in British history.
British Cycling, the governing body of the sport in Britain, confirmed it had offered Wiggins support after his revelation. A spokesperson said: “We are deeply concerned by the matter raised by Sir Bradley Wiggins and our safeguarding team has made contact with him today to offer our full support.
