I don't think it is weird at all to recognise when someone has reflected on their misdemeanors and ultimately made genuine apology and some reparation. No cheat wants to get caught, and few cheats will have the ability to publicly own up to their cheating immediately on being caught.
genuine apoligy?
reparation?
utter bollox.
no difference between dopey millar and all the other drug fuelled lying cheats.
Care to explain with reasoned argument ? Millar lied when 1st brought in the the French police - just as many would when they see their livelihood about to come crashing down. He then splurged the whole sordid tale it seems including saying that the choices were his own whilst the environment at the time encouraged such behaviour - essentially the people around him made him think that not taking PEDs meant not applying yourself 100% to your job.
I read his book. Apparently all his best performances were when he wasn't on anything, and he named no other names.
Didn't read it that carefully then. He fessed up to using EPO to win the World TT in 2003 and had the title stripped. They had no evidence of when he'd used (no test +vs etc) so they relied on his confession.

And all his other big performances were on clean days then. Right.

You said 'all his best' , unless you weren't counting his winning the World Title as one of his best days?........

Meh, maybe I was being unfair. Seems appropriate so I don't care.
that all as maybe but he is a lying doping cheat who stole other people's hard work because he is a lying doping cheat who was convicted and being a lying doping cheat so deserves to be treated the same as all the others.

The camera down the willy isn't anything like as bad as it sounds.
I feel there should be some randomiser, like a wheel of fortune style spin to decide the length of a ban. Oh, it's landed on 10 years, so sorry. Seems a bit unfair, does it?
Got an opinion on, say, Bertie Contador? Or is he ok because he denied it all / blamed dodgy beef / waited for the Spanish court system to delete the evidence?

same as, geezer.
convicted of cheating by the governing body of the sport he raced under.
they giveth, they taketh, 'tis their ball to take away.
you play by the rules or go somewhere else.

I'm under pressure for my weight, what should I do? I know, take EPO. Sorry, but that doesn't wash.
If at first you don't succeed and all that. Seems as if he second story is getting a better reception her first, thanks mainly to those underwear photos.
Anyhow, I'm off to score some Edgar as I have put on a load of weight during lockdown.
Dopey Millar also lied when first caught but people seem to have forgiven him for some strange, weird, sligthly hypocritical reason....
Have you forgotten how British he is?
Surely he was only British when he won, the rest of the time he would be Scottish.
Am I missing the people who have said Millar shouldn't have been banned or is someone building a straw man ready for bonfire night?
He's a tv commentator, still taking work from clean riders.
Yebbut. He fessed up, did his time. Like say a convicted burglar does his time then behaves, should said ex-burglar still be transported to Oz? Or should such ex-offenders who have done their time and now behave still be banned from oh everything?

A struck off doctor is unlikely to replace Dr Ranj on This Morning.

He lied
He cheated
He doped
He stole clean riders' dreams and careers through his lying, cheating and doping.
He knew exactly what he was doing every single centimetre of the way.
End of
He's full ofshit with his fake repentance
We don't all sit here and go "oooh, Floyd, lets all forgive him and buy his overpriced clothes because he said sorry" do we?

But who are these people supporting him because he is posh and British? He gets criticised for his past regularly on here. I don't even think he's a good pundit as some on here say.

Its also good fun to hear the book of excuses being turned to a new page, or should we say chapter.

You break those rules
You suffer the penalties under ICI rules
If UCI rules say life ban, thats what it is no matter how many clubbies pull the jingoism card
