Millar...

Apparently they may take away his Worlds TT title. What a crock of sh#t. If they do that, they should strip every winner of every pro race of their win.

Its too bad. That sucks.

Seems like Confidis likes to abandon its riders in time of crisis...Cyclists beware! Just ask Lance and Millar...

Nice bunch eh?

I am afraid that there is nothing else Cofidis can do in Millar's case. As the Jerk pointed out: he did not have to admit it... However, life after pro cycling may be better.

Well, I am not sure the organization could do nothing about this, but!

This is common practice with Pro teams, even here in the USA. The hypocrits in management and the doctors and directors always say: "oh, we did not tell him to this or that..." And then they put the rider in unpaid suspension or they let him go.

I also heard that Euskaltel's Dr didn't show up for the tour, I have to wonder if him not being there was part of the problem with Mayo and if the fallout for the Euskaltel team hasn't already started
