Career

Ingle began his career in journalism as a sports writer for EMAP in 1998.

Ingle was posted to Germany to cover the 2006 World Cup for The Guardian. In Baden-Baden, while at a restaurant with colleague Jonathan Wilson, he was bitten on the buttocks by a German Shepherd; the dog bit him so hard that he bled. [3]

He remained as the sports editor of the website until after the 2012 Olympics in London, when he was named a senior sports writer and Athletics Correspondent, as he returned to full-time reporting duties for The Guardian, Observer and the website. He also began writing a weekly column on issues in sport.

Ingle has broken several high-profile stories, including the revelation that four-time Tour de France winner Chris Froome failed a doping test during the Vuelta a España road race in September 2017. [4] His report, co-authored with Martha Kelner, won Scoop of the Year at the 2017 British Sports Journalism Awards. [5]
