Wiggins maintains media silence
Bradley Wiggins has continued his radio silence in the wake of revelations surrounding his use of Therapeutic Use Exemptions (TUEs) during his career. The British rider attended the rider presentation at the Gent Six Day, where he will ride alongside Mark Cavendish, but made a quick exit without speaking to the press, according to Sky Sports reporter Orla Chennaoui.
Wiggins has done only two interviews with the press since his TUE applications were published in mid-September when the Fancy Bears hacker group gained access to the World Anti-Doping Agency’s (WADA) TUE servers. His first was with the Andrew Marr show on BBC television and he did a subsequent interview with the Guardian’s William Fotheringham, where he set out to explain his allergies and TUE use.

Wiggins and Team Sky are also under scrutiny for the delivery of a ‘medical package’ that was sent to the team at the end of the 2011 Criterium du Dauphine. The Culture, Media and Sport select committee chairman, Damian Collins MP told British Cycling that they have questions about the package and are set to meet later this month.
The Gent Six Day is set to be Wiggins’ final appearance as a professional rider. However, he has said that he is open to riding in 2017. Cyclingnews contacted Wiggins' management who says that he will not make any press appearances during the event.
In Ghent for 6 Day presentation. Sir Bradley Wiggins attended but left before speaking to media. Unlikely to hear from him at his last race.
