Millar a ‘prisoner of fame and money’

DISGRACED British cyclist David Millar has admitted using EPO in the build-up to his victory in the World Championships last year. He won the world title in the time-trial with a near-faultless display in Hamilton, Canada.

But the 27-year-old revealed in his declaration to French judge Richard Pallain on July 1 that he had “cheated” by using the banned-blood booster in preparation for his victory.

Pallain is leading the investigation into drugs allegations against Millar’s team Cofidis.
