Olympic champion and Tour de France winner lifts the lid on how those inside the sport of cycling feel about disgraced racer Lance Armstrong
Tour de France champion and Olympic hero Bradley Wiggins says he thinks the sport of cycling harbours a lot of anger towards Lance Armstrong.
The sport's governing body, the UCI, this week ratified sanctions recommended by the USADA, who ruled that Armstrong and the United States Postal Service team ran "the most sophisticated, professionalised and successful doping programme that sport has ever seen".
Armstrong was subsequently banned for life and all his results from August 1, 1998 removed, including his seven Tour de France wins from 1999 to 2005.
At the launch of next year's Tour de France route in Paris today reigning champion Wiggins hit out at the 41-year-old Texan over the scandal that has rocked the sport.
"I think there is a lot of anger from most people within the sport, it is a sport I love and have always loved," he said.
"It is a shame that cycling is being dragged through this again really, not a shame that he has been caught - when you get older you start to realise Father Christmas doesn't exist and it is the same with Lance.
"But it is a shame that us riders here now, we are the one picking the pieces up and having to convince people."
Fellow Briton Mark Cavendish has urged Armstrong to admit to doping for the good of the sport, but while Wiggins agrees with his compatriot, he does not feel an admission will be forthcoming.
When asked whether he thought Armstrong admitting to the charge would help the situation Wiggins said: "I think so, definitely.
"But he is a stubborn man and I don't think he is ever going to confess, he has too much to lose."
Cavendish wants Armstrong to follow in the steps of his Great Britain team-mate David Millar and his former HTC director Rolf Aldag who have admitted to doping.
"It's not fair on me having to answer these questions. If you've done something, confess," Cavendish told BBC Sport.
"That anyone can damage the sport I love right now, it's frustrating.
"I've worked with David Millar. This guy's remorseful," Cavendish continued. "He's repented.
"The team I grew up with, HTC, one of the directors (Aldag) - these guys care about the sport. They ruin their reputation to move the sport on, but other people care more about themselves."
And Cavendish believes this is an issue with society rather than cycling.
"It's not just in cycling; it's every walk of life. There's cheats in entertainment, journalists cheat, every single sport has cheats," he added.
"If you put the effort into catching them and you have a structure that does things properly, you're going to catch a cheat.
"It doesn't happen in other sports not because they are clean but because it's not got the structure cycling has. In my eyes, cycling is the cleanest sport."
British Cycling performance director and Team Sky boss Dave Brailsford, meanwhile, believes cycling needs to learn from the Armstrong scandal.
Brailsford told Sky Sports News: "That is certainly dominating the headlines at the minute but I think the sport has got to move forward and this is about the future.
"We can't change what has happened in the past but what we can try and be is agents for change in the future.
"This sport needs to regain the trust that it has lost because of the past but I think when you look at next year's Tour it gives everyone an opportunity to focus on what we can change for the future.
"We can't change the past but we can change what we do today, tomorrow and by the time we get to next year's Tour."
They died from injuries sustained while on patrol in the Nahr-e Saraj district of Helmand Province
A Royal Marine and a soldier have died today after being injured while on patrol in Afghanistan, the Ministry of Defence said tonight.
They died from injuries sustained while on patrol in the Nahr-e Saraj district of Helmand Province.
The Royal Marine is from 40 Commando Royal Marines and the soldier from 3 Medical Regiment.
Next of kin have been informed and have requested a period of grace before further details are released.
Spokesman for Task Force Helmand, Major Laurence Roche, said: “I am extremely sorry to announce the deaths of a Royal Marine from 40 Commando and a soldier from 3 Medical Regiment serving with Task Force Helmand.
“This is dreadful news for all of us serving in Afghanistan. Our sincere condolences go to their families, friends and colleagues at this time of grief.”
Insiders said the accusers have been “steadily coming forward” and celebrities are among the staff being investigated over the claims
Reeling Director-General George Entwistle was under mounting pressure last night when it emerged the BBC is probing NINE current staff over sex allegations.
This came after angry MPs grilled Mr Entwistle yesterday over the Jimmy Savile abuse scandal and ordered the dithering BBC boss to “get a grip”.
Insiders say that celebrities are among the staff being investigated over the claims.
A BBC spokesman said: “As a result of the allegations about Jimmy Savile and subsequent contact from staff, former staff and members of the public, we are currently aware of nine allegations of sexual harassment, assault or inappropriate conduct regarding current staff or contributors.
“Some of these cases have been passed to the police where appropriate and we are reviewing others within our normal HR procedures.”
A BBC source said the accusers have been “steadily coming forward” since the Savile probe began and bosses are bracing themselves for even more claims to be made.
The insider added: “The allegations are right across the corporation and they involve some famous faces. These complaints relate to recent and historic incidents.”
The BBC would not comment on the claims that its stars are involved in the investigations.
Reeling: BBC Director General George Entwistle gives evidence
PA
Mr Entwistle was left floundering yesterday when MPs asked why he had pressed ahead with a Christmas tribute to Savile despite knowing the BBC’s Newsnight show was conducting an investigation into the Jim’ll Fix It star.
Mr Entwistle admitted it had been a “catastrophic mistake” to axe the probe and laid much of the blame on Newsnight editor Peter Rippon, who has now been forced to step down from his role.
And in a further blow to Mr Rippon, it was revealed that Newsnight reporter Liz MacKean wrote an email saying Mr Rippon undermined the Savile report by saying: “Well, it was 40 years ago...
"The girls were teenagers, not too young... they weren’t the worst kind of sexual offences.”
Appearing before the Commons culture, media and sport select committee, Mr Entwistle said there have been “serious allegations” made after the Savile expose.
The heat was turned up on Mr Entwistle as he told MPs of his “horror” at the “disgusting behaviour” of pervert Savile.
Mr Entwistle denied that sex abuse was “endemic” at the BBC but he admitted he had no idea how many complaints had been lodged with the Corporation since the 60s.
Nor did he know who had been responsible for allowing girls to be “bussed in” from children’s homes to watch one of Savile’s BBC shows, Top of the Pops, and be taken backstage.
Email revelation: Peter Rippon

Tory MP Philip Davies said the director-general had a “lamentable lack of knowledge” about the scandal.
Committee chairman John Whittingdale added: “This has not been handled well by the BBC.”
Other MPs told Mr Entwistle to “get a grip” and said he had showed an “extraordinary lack of curiosity” in December last year when he failed to act on a tip-off from Helen Boaden, the Director of BBC News, that Newsnight was investigating Savile.
Mr Entwistle, who was head of BBC Vision at the time, told MPs he did not ask for any details about the probe because he did not want to interfere.
He admitted that he now regretted the decision to broadcast the tributes to Savile.
Mr Entwistle told MPs: “There’s no question what Jimmy Savile did and the way the BBC behaved... the culture and practices of the BBC seems to allow Jimmy Savile to do what he did, will raise questions of trust for us and reputation for us.
“It is a gravely serious matter and one cannot look back at it with anything but horror that his activities went on as long as they did undetected.
"Of course, that is a matter of grave regret to me.”
He added the inquiry by Nick Pollard, ex-head of Sky News, into why the Newsnight investigation was axed is expected to report back in weeks.
The director-general said it was clear there had been a “significant breakdown of communication” between Newsnight’s reporters and management.
Sick: TV and radio star Savile
BBC
He also said it was “deeply regrettable” that a blog published under Mr Rippon’s name turned out to be inaccurate.
The blog suggested the Newsnight inquiry was mainly into the handling of a Surrey police probe into Savile, who died last October aged 84, and appeared to indicate that reporters had not turned up significant new information.
Mr Entwistle said he was “very disappointed indeed” to learn that the blog was incorrect.
He added: “What I relied upon is something that in my BBC career I’ve always been able to rely upon, which is the editor of a programme having a full grip and understanding of an investigation they were in charge of.
"In this case that doesn’t appear to have been the case, and that is disappointing.”
Mr Rippon, who has been stood down from his post while the Pollard inquiry is ongoing, is now expected to appear before MPs to explain his decision to axe the Savile report.
Tory MP Therese Coffey was already on the offensive yesterday when she branded an email sent by Mr Rippon last November as “chilling”.
The email about Savile’s victims who had spoken to Newsnight said “our sources so far are just the women”.
Mr Entwistle said the culture at the BBC had changed since the 70s but “not as much as it should”.
After the hearing, Mr Entwistle refused to answer questions about whether he would resign.
Culture Secretary Maria Miller last night said the Savile scandal has raised serious concerns about public trust in the BBC.
Ms Miller said in a letter to Lord Patten, the BBC Trust chairman: “Following today’s select committee hearing and the revelations that have emerged about the factual inaccuracies in the BBC’s explanation about why the Savile item in Newsnight was pulled, very real concerns are being raised about public trust and confidence in the BBC.”
The letter added: “In all our conversations we have talked about the paramount importance of full public trust in the BBC’s inquiries and agreed it is essential licence fee payers can be assured they are being conducted thoroughly and with the full co-operation of the BBC, in line with the Trust’s duty to ‘ensure the BBC observes high standards of openness’.”
She said the inquiries must be able to “follow the evidence wherever it takes them”.
A YOUNG black woman who claimed she was a race-hate victim and had been set on fire STAGED the attack, police said.
Cops in Louisiana said the woman also scrawled KKK on her own car.
FBI spokesman Kyle Hanrahan said: “The wounds were self-inflicted”.
Sharmeka Moffitt, 20, was seriously burned in the incident, which was widely reported, and remains in critical condition.
She called police from a park in the town of Winnsboro on Sunday night and told them three men in white hoodies doused her with a flammable liquid and ignited it.
The letters KKK, for the white supremacist organisation Ku Klux Klan, and a racial slur were scrawled on her car in what appeared to be toothpaste.
The FBI was called in to assist local authorities because the incident was initially considered a possible hate crime.
MOURNERS fainted in shock after a “dead” man interrupted his own wake and announced he was still alive, it was reported today.
Family and friends of Gilberto Araujo had spent the night grieving beside his open coffin at his home in Alagoinhas, northeast Brazil.
They had gathered to mourn the untimely death of the popular car washer, who was believed to have been murdered while working on the streets.
But the body they were weeping over was in fact that of another car washer who relatives say looked uncannily like 41-year-old Gilberto.
Two hours before he was due to be buried on Monday morning, the real Gilberto suddenly appeared among the mourners and shouted: “I’m alive, pinch me”.
Similar ... Gilberto looked just like dead colleague Genivaldo Gama
Maria Menezes told Brazil’s Globo G1 website: “It was a huge shock for everyone.
“Most of the women fainted, others fell to their knees in disbelief. People were screaming and running everywhere.”
The confusion began after police in the town telephoned Gilberto’s mother Marina Santana with the news her son had been shot dead on Saturday night.
The man’s body was released after both Gilberto’s brother and sister went to the town’s morgue and positively identified him as their brother.
Brother Jose Santos said: “We called the undertakers and arranged everything. He works on the street and doesn’t come home every night. Everyone believed it was him in that coffin. We were all devastated at losing him.”
Gilberto said he had learned about his “death” from a neighbour who had met him on the street and told him family and friends were holding a wake for him.
He said he had called home to let them know them he was still alive but a relative who answered thought it was a sick joke and put the phone down.
He said: “I decided to go there and tell them in person. I couldn’t believe it when I saw myself in that coffin, and all those people crying over me.
“Then there was mayhem. People were fainting all over the place, screaming and running out onto the street.”
Gilberto’s mother Marina Santana said: “I was shocked at first, but then I was overjoyed of course. What mother wouldn’t be after being told their son is dead then find out he’s really alive?"
Police chief Glauco Suzart said the body of the dead man, named as Genivaldo Santos Gama, has been returned to the morgue.
He said: “It was an easy mistake to make, the two men were both car washers and they look surprisingly alike. Now we have to start again from square one.”
AFTER promising an election-shaking revelation about Barack Obama today, Donald Trump just demanded the president release his college and passport files.
Trump had promised a “very, very big” announcement to be made on his Twitter and Facebook accounts.
His campaign triggered claims that he had dug up Obama divorce papers or another scandal less than two weeks before election day.
At 5pm a short video announcement appeared on Trump’s Facebook page, but The Donald, as he’s popularly known, made no news whatsoever.
The five-minute statement simply revisited the“birther” conspiracy theory, which claims that Obama lied about being born in Hawaii, was born outside the United States and is therefore occupying the White House illegally.
Earlier today Trump promised to deliver a revelation that would "change the race for the White House".
Trump has said he will make an announcement about President Obama that is "bordering on gigantic" today.
He told Fox and Friends: "It's going to be very big. I know one thing - you will cover it in a very big fashion."
Trump, a strong supporter of Republican candidate Mitt Romney, has previously made allegations about the President.
EURO MPs have defied David Cameron to ram through an eye-watering EU budget hike that will cost every British household an extra £42.
The Brussels parliament voted for a 6.8 per cent rise in Europe-wide spending that leaves the UK having to fork out an additional £886million.
Led by the PM, the leaders of seven major EU countries, including France and Germany, are insisting on only a 2.79 per cent rise. It creates a deadlock between EU ministers and the parliament. Showdown talks take place next month.
UKIP MEP Marta Andreasen dubbed the hike “an outrageous insult to Europe’s hard-pressed taxpayers”.
She added: “Austerity is not something that troubles a cosseted Eurocrat.” In a double blow to Mr Cameron, the European parliament also pushed for a five per cent hike in its seven-year budget to 2020.
A PARAPLEGIC man who was stranded in a desert for three days dragged himself four miles down a dirt road to find help.
Survivor Ricky Gilmore says he went without food and water for three days after being dumped without his wheelchair in New Mexico.
He was eventually picked up by a passing motorist where he was found with shredded skin, a sprained wrist, kidney damage and a blood infection.
"Ah man, I'm just a big mess. I ache and I'm just in the first stages of healing," he told The Associated Press from his hospital bed.
Gilmore, 49, spent two days in intensive care and it could be at least another week before he can go home.
Reports say Gilmore was found along a seldom traveled road about 10 miles from his home in Newcomb.
Gilmore said he was dropped in the desert by a couple in a white truck whom he met while he was hitchhiking.
He had invited them to his home for steaks and they later went for what Gilmore thought was going to be a joyride.
When he declined to share his alcohol with them, Gilmore said the man grabbed him by his feet and threw him out of the truck while parked along the desolate road.
It was early evening and Gilmore had nothing - no wheelchair, no food, no water, no coat - to help him endure the flat desert scrubland.
"It was dark and I was shivering and the wind was blowing so I just crawled to a bush and dug in right there. It was cold that night," he said.
However, the next morning he started his journey to try and find help, but took three days to get home.
"I started dragging myself. I did the same thing all day and I only got about two miles," he said.
"I could have easily gave up and said forget it, but I said I'm not going to freeze out here and I just kept on going," said Gilmore, who lives by himself and lost the use of his legs in a car crash years ago.
"I don't think I would have made it another night," he said.
EASTENDERS actress Rachel Bright has just been given the news that she’s going to be staying in Walford a while longer.
The pretty brunette – who plays ditzy beautician Poppy Meadow – has had her contract on the show extended for the foreseeable future.
It’s the ditzy girl’s second tenure in Albert Square – she originally left last November when her best friend Jodie Gold walked out on her wedding to Darren Miller.
Flower power ... Rachel as EastEnders' Poppy Meadow
But Poppy was brought back in June this year, when she started working with Tanya at the salon and moved in with Fatboy.
Rachel has now been signed up as an EastEnders regular – and will have her own storyline in the coming weeks, as show bosses have lined up a new romance for her.
After receiving messages of congratulations for her fans, Rachel tweeted: “I'm completely overwhelmed with all this poppy love. Thank you. #Chuffed x”
VICTORIA Beckham looks in aptly sullen spirits as she’s named the Least Fun Celebrity in the world
The former Spice Girl beat Jeremy Clarkson, Tom Cruise and Madonna to the dishonourable title in the Jackpotjoy poll of 2,000 Brits.
And she certainly played up to her stony-faced reputation in New York yesterday, giving merit to the findings of the moody celebs survey.
But what Victoria lacks in smiles, she more than makes up for in style.
The designer hit several expensive boutique stores in a stunning loose-fitting black dress teamed with thick-wedged shoes.
Doting mum ... Victoria and Harper

She spent much of the trip with her hands casually in her pockets and concealed her eyes behind big shades.
Victoria was joined by daughter Harper, one, and again demonstrated her strength by carrying the tot for much of the afternoon.
The doting mum ensured her little bundle of joy looked the part as well, dressing her in a cute floral frock and black boots.
Legging it ... Victoria Beckham

Despite often giving the appearance of someone in the pits of misery, Victoria recently explained why she refuses to crack a grin.
She said: “I actually used to smile a lot in pictures.
“I think I only stopped smiling when I got into fashion. Fashion stole my smile.
“I've created this person. And I'm not saying that's not me, but I wouldn't say that's the whole me ... It's an armour that goes up.”
Jackpotjoy has invited the survey's surly celebs to join in its all-new £250k FUNdation on Facebook (www.facebook.com/jackpotjoy) that grants funds for daft ideas.
KERRY Katona this morning told how she finds it "sad" that she has no contact with her former hubby Brian McFadden.
Speaking about the father of her two eldest children, Molly and Lilly-Sue, on ITV1's Lorraine, the 32-year-old said: “Brian is Molly and Lilly’s daddy and I haven’t spoken to him in a good few years.
"It is really sad, I'd give anything to ring Brian and his wife up and say, ‘Look, I’ve got parents’ evening, do you fancy coming?’
"But unfortunately he lives in Australia, but my girls love their daddy and he loves them.”
Kerry has had a turbulent relationship with her ex since their split in 2004.
Brian, 32, claimed in an interview he gave after marrying new bride Vogue Williams that he had "no idea what he was doing" when he wed Kerry in 2002.
A furious Kerry tweeted back: "I will never let anyone take away my first marriage not even my ex husband!
"We may have been young but I knew full well what I was doing!!! And never in a million years would I ever dismiss it, especially bringing two amazing children into it... Love mummy xxx.
"Just want my children to know there were made with love and no regrets #eyeswideopen."
To which Brian replied: "@KerryKatona7 agreed. Now for the sake of our innocent children for once in your life, shut up and move on."
'The wrong person' ... Kerry Katona with second hubby Mark Croft
Kerry also told the morning show's host Lorraine Kelly that she is "lucky to be alive" after her life went downhill following the end of her marriage to Brian.
She said: “I got lost, massively, especially after my first divorce and I got married again to the completely wrong person.
"I got diagnosed with bipolar, I was taking drugs – my life was just going downhill.
"I'm very lucky to be alive and be sat here today and given a second chance.”
And she added: "I'm so lucky to have turned my life around, I'm dead thankful."
Kerry wed cabbie Mark Croft in 2007 and they went on to have two kids Heidi and Max.
They split in 2010 and Kerry now says her love life is non-existent.
She told Lorraine: “What love life Lorraine? What love life? I haven’t got a love life, I haven’t got one. I'm happy - if it happens it happens."
A SURFER was killed in a shark attack after being knocked from his board off the coast of California.
A friend watched in horror as Francisco Javier Solorio Jr, 39, was bitten on his upper torso.
The pal pulled Francisco from the water and gave him first air - but he could not be saved.
Francisco and his friend were on their boards at Surf Beach near Lompoc, the Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s Department said.
Tragic ... cops tell of surfer's death
Sheriff's Sgt, Mark A. Williams, said Francisco, "had a friend who he was surfing with who saw the shark bite or hit the man”.
He added: “His friend ended up swimming over and pulling him from the water where he received first aid.”
The friend started first aid while another surfer called for help, but he was pronounced dead at the scene.
The beach is located at the Vandenburg Air Force Base but the public is allowed to use it.
Tragic ... beach where attack happened
All surrounding beaches are set to be closed for at least 72 hours after yesterday's attack.
The type of shark involved is still being investigated, although last month warning signs were put up after large great white shark was spotted nearby.
Lt. Erik Raney, said: “We’ve had shark sightings up and down the Santa Barbara coastline pretty frequently recently."
An average of 65 shark attacks occur each year around the world that typically result in two or three deaths, according to the Pew Environment Group.
Surf Beach, is about 150 miles northwest of Los Angeles.
CHEEKY twins Jedward prove they can deliver a serious performance with this acoustic rendition of Adele's Bond theme tune.
The chirpy Irish duo take on the task of delivering a credible cover of Skyfall as they perch on stalls dressed in matching white shirts with John strumming the tune out on his guitar.
And the resulting video may come as quite a shock to many of the pop acts critics - they actually sound pretty good.
Both John and Edward, 21, take turns in singing verses on the tarck before harmonising perfectly on the chorus.
It doesn't stop there either, John uploaded another acoustic clip on Sunday, where he performs Plain White T's track Hey There Delilah, dedicating the song to Jedward fans all over the world.
Perched on a stool as he plays the guitar and sings, the appearance is a far cry from the hyperactive and over the top displays people are used to seeing from the boys.
The videos are the latest in a line of covers where they showcase their musical skills uploaded to the Jedward TV YouTube page by the pair, with other tunes featured including The Script's Hall Of Fame and Taylor Swift's We Are Never Getting Back Together.
