to quote Mr Wiggins

“I’ve never had an injection, apart from I’ve had my vaccinations, and on occasion I’ve been put on a drip, when I’ve come down with diarrhoea or something or have been severely dehydrated.”

And if he was taking a substance to 'level the playing field' then he was not relying on his talent / physiology alone.

I am afraid he has been caught in a lie - however 'legal' his actions may have been.
