Team Sky's Tour De France and Olympic time trial winner Bradley Wiggins has told Sky Sports News he is not surprised it has been proved Lance Armstrong is a drugs cheat.
A United States Anti-Doping Agency report labelled Armstrong a "serial" cheat who led "the most sophisticated, professionalised and successful doping programme that sport has ever seen".
Usada had already banned the 41-year-old American for life and stripped him of his seven Tour de France titles.
"I'm certainly not surprised by it," said Wiggins when asked his opinion on Usada's findings on Armstrong.
The Londoner was then asked had he been expecting there to be so much evidence against him and he added: "I wasn't really expecting anything.
"It is what it is. It stacks up pretty highly really, it's pretty damning. There's a lot of it and I think the evidence is now overwhelming.
"In a way this brings an end to the investigation which has been going on for quite a few years. Maybe now, as a sport, we can to move forward."
When asked, Wiggins went on to reveal he felt little sympathy with Armstrong and said: "Not really, no. I don't really think of it in those terms.
"My main concern is now I'm standing here as the winner of the Tour de France having to now pick to the pieces for other people misdemeanours.
"For me it's about looking forward now and not looking back 10, 15 years ago."
