    Do you feel the same about David Millar?
    Cos if you don't you are being hypocritical.
    Their careers have followed very similar paths, as have their attitudes towards the dark arts.
    Reformed and talked with the authorities.

    Remember being so excited about him during the 2007 Tour.

    Seemed the real deal talent wise, and the man to take over from Michael Boogard.

    Alas, that was his peak.

    He gave the hour record a good go the other week. Sadly that was possibly his best performance when not on the gear - he's been pretty average since his ban ended.

    Nope, feel more strongly about Millar, who has re-invented himself as holier than thou, and built a second lucrative career on the back of it.

    The cheater should never have returned to the sport after p***ing all over it as a doper.
