    haha....Hailing originally from Glasgow, I'm just as qualified to represent Scotland as David Millar :D I haven't researched what the Australian Olympic people do but my suspicions are that they would take a hardline approach. There is an IOC lifetime ban for a 2nd doping offence but I can see the justification for countries applying that penalty for a first offence.

    Don't really care what other countries do or don't do with their disgraced cyclists. We're talking about Team GB and David Millar. He consciously cheated and lied over a period of time and should not be allowed to represent his country again. Completely the wrong message.

    He has been representing Team GB for a few years now, this is about representing Scotland at the Commonwealth Games and the lifting of a lifetime ban.

    My thoughts on Millar have thawed over the past 12 months. But i am getting fed up with the fact that RULES seem to so easily be over-ruled these days. We are giving more lenient penalties, and now it seems completely changing the rules to suit. bad news.

    Perhaps the media could constantly refer to him as "the reformed cheat David Millar", in a sort of Mrs Merton kind of way.

    To be fair to him though its usually after he is aksed by the interviewer about doping and his experiences of it.
