“The report also said Team Sky used the anti-inflammatory drug triamcinolone to prepare Britain's most decorated Olympian for the Tour de France, which Wiggins won in 2012.“

"unethical"

I've said it before, there's a need for transparency in the use of TUEs.

Is anybody surprised to find Sky was/is doping?

It's too bad they excluded Froome from their research.

"Not at any time in my career did we cross the ethical line," Wiggins told BBC sports editor Dan Roan.

Keep in mind there is a difference between cortico-steroids that are generally used to treat pain and inflammation and anabolic-steroids that are used to build muscle.

We need to see the actual TUE application before going all bonkers.
