Sort of doesn't count. Millar was lying fifth to within a 100 metres of the
line, but stopped pedalling and didn't contest the sprint.

Ah, his patented finishing style!

ramifications.

Those with a true commitment to a clean sport will simply have to keep a
closer eye on Millar at the line.

Now stop bothering me, I have a video to edit,
