Disgraced Millar gets two-year ban for doping offences

CYCLIST David Millar received a two-year ban from the sport yesterday after admitting to doping offences.

The Scot was also stripped of his 2003 world time trial title and fined approximately £900 (€1,364) for taking banned drug EPO.

Millar won the title last October but on July 1 privately confessed to judge Richard Pallain that he had used the drug. An independent disciplinary panel sitting for British Cycling considered information from a number of sources and also questioned Millar before finding him guilty of intentional doping.
