London: After becoming Britain’s most decorated Olympian, Bradley Wiggins showed his athletic endurance extends beyond the roads and into bars. A record-breaking seventh medal — by winning the men’s time trial — was toasted by the cyclist getting “blind drunk.” It was a very public binge, with Wiggins posting messages and pictures on Twitter as he celebrated gold near St. Paul’s Cathedral. “Getting wasted,” he tweeted, accompanied by a picture, posing with a drink and flicking the v for victory sign.

Later, the Tour de France champion tweeted: “Blind drunk at the minute … it’s been emotional.” British Olympic chief Colin Moynihan says Wiggins was “thoroughly entitled to have a fantastic party.” AP
