And IIRC, he never tested positive. This beautiful sport is being destroyed
from within.

What a [censored].

I predict that Migraine withdraws funding from the team at the end of the
season ... no more Cofidis.

Thing is with Millar ... I would have thought that he'd be racing clean this
year for sure (if not in years past) due to l'affaire Cofidis, especially,
as [censored] as he's been doing ....

[L'Equipe]
«Millar aurait reconnu avoir utilisé de l'Eprex (erythropoïetine) dans
l'exercice de sa profession ce qui le place aujourd'hui réglementairement
dans la même situation qu'un coureur contrôlé positif au regard de l'Union
cycliste internationale»,

Awfully strange stuff to put in your Haggis, Laddie!!!

None of you actually believed that this global citizen (he regards
himself as not as a Scot, but as a citizen of the world), had the abilities
he displayed? Put the peloton in Abu Graib, and you'd soon find out the
whole gig is a fraud.

This is the last thing the sport needs now!Just days before the TDF as
well!Now cofidis is going to be a headless chicken in the race, unless
the tour officials stop them from riding.Have to agree that I think this
is the end for Cofidis.Millar has a lot to answer for!This wasnt some
domestique but a world champion!

Eurosport is jumping the gun, CN too in its headline, but not in the
article with the abundant "allegedly"s. Nothing confirmed yet: "aurait
reconnu" -- would have admitted.

This is tabloid [censored]. These are trumped up charges. His confession
was coerced. Millar has never tested positive.

You would have thought so, wouldn't you.

However, I'm strongly of the belief that 99% of the riders are taking something.........

«Millar aurait reconnu avoir utilisé de l'Eprex (erythropoïetine)

Eurosport is jumping the gun, CN too in its headline, but not in the
article with the abundant "allegedly"s. Nothing confirmed yet: "aurait
reconnu" -- would have admitted.

I think I might have translated it as either "may have admitted" or "might
have admitted." Thus, my translation would have been:

"According to the June 25th edition of L'Equipe, David Millar may have
admitted to have taken EPO during his 48 hour interrogation at the
Biarritz police station. 'Millar may have acknowledged having used Eprex
during his career, which would place him in the same category as a rider
who had tested positive from the UCI's point of view,' wrote the journal."

Robert Chung said:

I think I might have translated it as either "may have admitted"

Thanks. I like to think I'm struggling less and less to find the right
can/may/would/could/etc, but obviously still screw it up now and again
(maybe put off by a post with the same translation in u.r.c.).

why not "should have admitted"?... is it also possible to have said "will have
admitted"?...

erik saunders said:

If you know he did dope and think it was his duty or moral obligation to
admit to that.

If you believe in alternate universes.

I'm impressed. Anyone that will take EPO right there in the police
station in order to get through a 48 hour interrogation has cajones.

Or am I reading that wrong?

Guess Gaumont was telling the truth, after David called him "a comlete
nutter" and a manipulator. Hope David saved up some of his earnings,
he'll need something to live on during his suspension.

This is the end of the road for Confidis; surely now they will be thrown out
of the tour?

Also a sad day for a dear friend of mine, a lady called June, who used to
coach David when he was young. She has utmost faith in him, he gave her his
first yellow Jersey signed to 'Auntie June'.

Are we heading for another 98 tour? The timings are dreadful for the sport,
and will lead to media scandalisation of the whole sport. If you have some
paint and no brain then head for the route now to start painting those
syringes on the road!

As for me, well even I am beginning to question Lance Armstrong. This whole
affair will give the LA book even more credibility.
