I don't think this is naive. I am a firm believer in innocent until proven guilty when it comes to doping- otherwise I would not be able to enjoy cycling at all. That being said, I still have my doubts about riders from time to time. Somebody like Millar, who has been caught and has made the effort to start fresh, is even easier to trust then somebody who has never been caught but simply has a lot of question marks. Of course teams like Garmin and Sky (from what little I've gathered about them) aren't going to pick up someone like Landis or Vino, but somebody like Millar is an excellent choice.
I guess my point is that I think Millar is great for Garmin, and I think he could be great for Sky too. Hopefully he stays with Garmin though, they are my favorite!
