David Walsh condemns Tom Humphries' 'terrible wrong' but remains a friend 'through thick and thin'

Acclaimed sports writer David Walsh, who faced criticism for writing a court character reference for Tom Humphries, has said he unequivocally condemns the "terrible wrong" his friend committed.

Sunday Times reporter Mr Walsh, famed for the role he played exposing the Lance Armstrong doping scandal, also said he apologised unreservedly for "insensitive and ill-judged" comments he made about the Humphries case in a 2012 radio interview.
