Bradley Marc Wiggins, baronet cyclist, the latest in the series of athletes who ended up in difficulty once their careers ended. Winner of six World Track titles, five gold medals – and one silver and two bronzes – at the Olympics (in four successive editions, between Athens 2004 and Rio 2016), of a Road World Championship, holder of the hour record and triumphant in an epic Tour de France in 2012, the Briton accumulated millions in debt and had to put his brands up for sale, one with his surname and Wiggo, from his nickname. He faces bankruptcy after going through a devastating argument with a friend-partner, doping accusations — he had a medical exemption for asthma by taking normally prohibited testosterone, the Russians never liked — and an even more painful divorce after having talked about his wife’s mental problems (she would be bipolar and forced to resort to detoxification services) Cath.
