  1. Interesting that he is being investigated for distributing. Also, I didn't
    know consumption of drugs is not a crime in France

    World champion Millar questioned in doping probe

    David Millar: 'We're not cheats.'

    PARIS (AP) -- Police were questioning world champion cyclist David
    Millar about allegations that he distributed doping products during last
    year's Tour de France, a judicial official said Thursday.

    Police officials said Millar was taken into custody on Tuesday night
    in the southwestern city of Biarritz - less than two weeks before the start
    of this year's Tour that begins July 3 in Liege, Belgium.

    Millar, of Britain, was under questioning and risks being placed under
    investigation -- a step short of being charged -- in connection with the
    probe opened a year ago.

    Eight people have already been placed under investigation in the
    probe, most of them connected, past or present, to the Cofidis team that
    Millar rides for.

    One of those eight alleged that at last year's Tour, "poisonous
    products from Millar were consumed and given to others," said the
    well-placed judicial official who spoke on condition of anonymity.

    Consuming doping products is in itself not a crime in France, but
    having, acquiring or transporting "poisonous products" is illegal.

    The investigating magistrate leading the probe has until Thursday
    evening to decide whether to place Millar under formal investigation, which
    would indicate that investigators believe there could be grounds to
    prosecute him.

    The only rider to fail a drug test at last year's Tour was Spanish
    cyclist Javier Pascual Llorente. He tested positive for the endurance drug
    EPO, which works by boosting oxygen-carrying red blood cells.

    The race was won Lance Armstrong, giving the Texan his fifth victory
    in a row. He is shooting for a record sixth crown this year.

    Millar, the defending world time trial champion, is the star of
    Cofidis, one of France's leading squads. Worried that the doping scandal
    would ruin his season, defending world road champion Igor Astarloa quit
    Cofidis in April to join Italy's Lampre team.

    Cofidis qualified automatically for this year's Tour. Millar has won
    three stages in his four previous Tours, including the final time trial last
    year.

    The scandal surrounding his team broke into the open at the start of
    the year. It is the biggest doping scandal to hit cycling since the Festina
    affair in 1998 that nearly halted the Tour de France that year and laid bare
    the extent to which illegal substances have been used in cycling and other
    sports.

    In January, Millar told Britain's daily Guardian that the scandal was
    "sad and annoying" but limited in scope.

    "We are not cheats," he said.

    The probe is headed by Judge Richard Pallain, based in the Paris
    suburb of Nanterre, who is investigating suspected "traffic in poisonous
    substances."

    Millar was detained on Pallain's orders.

  2. Quoted message said:

    The only rider to fail a drug test at last year's Tour was Spanish
    cyclist Javier Pascual Llorente. He tested positive for the endurance drug
    EPO, which works by boosting oxygen-carrying red blood cells.

    The race was won Lance Armstrong, giving the Texan his fifth victory
    in a row. He is shooting for a record sixth crown this year.

    Unfortunate choice of words in the circumstances.
