- Five-time Olympic champion was ‘a functioning addict’
- Wiggins, 45, has been sober for a year after therapy
Sir Bradley Wiggins has revealed he became addicted to cocaine following his retirement from cycling and is “lucky to be here”. The 2012 Tour de France winner and five-time Olympic champion said his children wanted to put him in rehab amid fears the issue could prove fatal.
Wiggins, a father of two, is now 12 months sober, attends regular therapy sessions and feels “a lot more at peace” with himself.
