He raced for Team Sky until April 2015.Team Sky deny wrongdoing, and, like British Cycling, are co-operating with the investigation, which Wiggins has welcomed.Wiggins five years ago became the first man to win the Tour de France and Olympic gold in the same year, his London 2012 success coming in the road time-trial at Hampton Court.But he has still recorded significant achievements in the former Olympic Velodrome.On June 7, 2015, he set the Hour record, circling the track for 54.526-kilometres in 60 minutes.It was a painful experience, one Wiggins, with tongue firmly in cheek, likened to childbirth.Events since Sept. 15, 2016, when the Fancy Bears hackers published Wiggins TUEs, may have been just as painful, but have had a far more serious tone.Wiggins reputation remains in the eyes of the majority of those spectators who ventured to the London Six Day.Sarah Henderson from London said: Hes still a great cyclist. Hes shown his worth in lots of different disciplines.According to the rules, he hasnt broken them. Thats what rules are there for. Theyre there to set a limit and he hasnt gone over it.Emma Gillan from London added: From what hes done, hes still a fantastic role model and fantastic athlete.Rules are rules. Unless they can prove its against the rules, we go with the rules.Wiggins has eight world titles and in March claimed his seventh on the track with a second Madison success with Mark Cavendish.Wiggins and Cavendish, his teammate here, have been key protagonists in the British cycling boom. Many were in London to see the pair race, something they will do on multiple occasions each evening until Sunday.Joseph Jonas from Leicestershire said: What hes done hes done because hes put dedication in.Theres been speculation about so many things. It seems to be if youre the best it seems to be how can you be the best? other than training hard. All the best to him.Wiggins career is nearing a conclusion. His final revolutions will come at next months Six Day in Ghent.He was born in the Belgian city, where his father raced.Wiggins added: Ive always said I was born to ride the Madison.The earliest memories Ive had as a kid were sat in the cabin with my dad.It completes a circle, but the story may not be finished.
