Bradley Wiggins, former Olympic champion and Tour de France winner, has revealed his battle with cocaine addiction following his retirement in 2016. After facing personal turmoil, including bankruptcy and a public divorce, Wiggins admitted the substance was used to cope with pain. His addiction alarmed his children, who worried for his safety. Despite a challenging period in his life, he is now undergoing therapy with support from Lance Armstrong, aiming to rebuild his life and confront the trauma from his past, including allegations of abuse from a coach during his youth.
I was doing shit loads of cocaine. I had a real problem, and my kids were actually going to put me in rehab at one point. I've never spoken about that. I really was walking a tightrope.
There were times when my son was worried I was going to end up dead in the morning. I was a functioning addict, there was no middle ground for me.
