David Millar’s Commonwealth Games Ban Lifted, Can Olympics Be Next?

0

David Millar had his lifetime ban from the Commonwealth Games lifted last week, and he’s preparing for a real showing next October. Interviewed by the BBC, he is quoted as saying that cycling now leads all sports in anti-doping measures and has become an example for all others. “We have introduced some of the most advanced anti-doping methods, from bringing in the ‘whereabouts’ system early on, internal testing programs for teams and the biological passport,” said Millar. “In a decade, we have gone from being probably what was one of the dirtiest professional sports to the sport that is at the vanguard of anti-doping.” After admitting to using EPO, in 2004 Millar received a two-year ban from competing, and has since become an outspoken advocate for clean, drug-free cycling.
