Millar Time

Given all the talk about doping these days arising from "Operacion Puerto," this year's TdF is beginning on a rather sour note. Sounds like some big names are poised to fall soon. Ullrich, Basso, Beloki, Mancebo, just to name a few of the biggest ones. Ouch!

But for those who want to retain at least a glimmer of hope in these dim times, the story of David Millar looks refreshingly like it might be heading on the opposite trajectory. Millar is coming off a two year ban for using EPO. The difference: he was not caught by a test, but confessed to taking it. That alone is a breath of fresh air when everyone else uses the strategy of deny, deny, deny. Let's hope Millar can make good on his promise to show that it's possible to win while riding clean.
