WIGGINS OPENS UP ON ADDICTION TO DRUGS
Scottish Daily Express
|May 14, 2025
SIR BRADLEY WIGGINS has revealed his son was scared of finding him dead during the height of his cocaine addiction.
The 2012 Tour de France winner and five-time Olympic champion turned to drugs following his retirement in 2016, admitting to becoming a "functioning addict".
"There were times my son thought I was going to be found dead in the morning," Wiggins told The Observer.
"I was doing s***loads of cocaine. I had a really bad problem. My kids were going to put me in rehab. I was walking a tightrope."
Wiggins' struggles were compounded by financial issues. Having previously boasted a £13million fortune, a company controlled by Wiggins had debts totalling around £1m.
