British rider speaks exclusively to Cyclingnews
Cyclingnews caught up with British rider David Millar earlier in the month at a charity dinner in honour of Action Medical Research. The 34-year-old reflected on a difficult but eventful 2011, which included the publication of his acclaimed book, a bittersweet experience at the Giro d'Italia - where his victory in the time trial was overshadowed by Wouter Weylandt's tragic death - and the team captain's role at the Road World Championships in Copenhagen.

The British Olympic Association has a lifetime ban preventing any British athlete with doping offences from competing in the Olympic Games, which would stop David Millar competing in London next July. However, in November, the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) declared this non-compliant with it’s code, and that athletes should have the chance to compete. The BOA have appealed, and a final decision should be expected from the Court of Arbitration in Sport (CAS) in April. If the ban is lifted, Millar will want to contest the Olympic time trial, and be part of the British team looking for a road race win on home soil. If not, look out for him in the time trial stages of the biggest races, and hoping one of his opportunistic breakaways can bring him a win.
