Bradley Wiggins confronts the BBC TV camera crew after they called to his house to ask questions over the 'jiffy bag' controversy. He demanded they leave or he could call the police.
Bradley Wiggins has reacted angrily to a BBC camera crew who called to his home unannounced to ask him questions about a package delivered to his team doctor in France in 2011 when he was a Team Sky rider.
Wiggins would not engage as the reporter repeatedly asked him for comment on the ‘jiffy bag’.

However, he then came out of his house and through a gate, demanding the camera be turned off.
He also told the reporters they were on a private road and that he would call the police if they did not leave.
Two unidentified people, a man and a woman, then tried to push the camera out of the way and repeated what Wiggins had said about them being on private property.

The incident, which was captured in the video below, came after the head of UK Anti Doping Agency was critical of Team Sky and British Cycling over a lack of record keeping relating to the medicines riders took.

Nicole Sapstead was giving her evidence yesterday to a UK parliamentary committee which is, among other things, examining the delivery of a medical package to Team Sky on the final stage of the 2011 Critérium du Dauphiné; a race Wiggins won overall that day.
The team has said the bag contained Fluimucil, an over the counter legal decongestant, and that it was for Wiggins to use in a nebuliser.
However, there are no records in relation to the delivery or the purchase of the medicine. The matter has badly damaged Team Sky and British Cycling.
Sapstead told the committee there were records of British Cycling having bought significant amounts of triamcinolone – the corticosteroid Wiggins had taken under TUE during his career.
The quantity purchased was “far more” than just for one rider, she added.
