The Christian Science Monitor: Millar cleaning up cycling from inside peloton

The Christian Science Monitor profiles David Millar as, “..the Scottish rider, once banned from the sport for two years for doping, now competes with a team pioneering a new drug-testing model.”

From the feature: “Today Millar has become a poster child for a budding movement to clean up a sport that has arguably been more damaged than any other by doping. After being stripped of his world championship and banned by the British cycling federation from the sport for two years, he is back with a team that is pioneering new methods to prove its athletes are drug-free…While some on the cycling circuit fault Millar for trying to capitalize on his conversion, his team’s self-policing approach has become a model that an increasing number inside and outside the sport are emulating.”
