But one would think in that case that sponsors - especially American sponsors would be more than willing to have him back if they're so willing to have Basso back.
1. Millar came clean when the police, while in his home found his drug materials in a hollowed out book. Then he was brought to tears.

2. Sponsors don't decide who rides on the team. They, of course can pull their sponsorship if they don't choose to associate with certain riders.

As for me, Basso served his time. Leave him alone.
