Don't alot of drugs casue sensitivity to the sun? Maybe they should do some extra checks on the Saunier-Duval rider who is suddenly allergic to the sun?

Ah, I believe that already happened to him and he's done his time for it.

Um, yeah. He admitted he screwed up and took his two years like a man. Dude's name is David Millar by the way.

No I mean RIGHT NOW. He suddenly developed ichy skin, could that be a sign that he's taking something now?

No it doesn't.
I all of a sudden have developed sun "allergies." If I venture out sans SPF55, I 1. Burn and 2. Itch.
It started about 2 years ago. Unless coffee is dope, then it is entirely possible that Millar isn't doping, but I am no expert. Funny thing too is that Millar is as white as it gets. And I'm Nigerian. Go figure.

David Millar, who was found guilty nearly 3 years ago of doping, is remorsefully sorry for his actions then and is a huge advocate in the anti-doping movement. I suspect this is just sun-poinoning. I think if it were a known side-effect there would be bells and whistles going off. If only it were that easy...

What bums me out is that he probably can't take anything useful for it since just about everything these days appears to be on the banned substances list. :eek:

Anyone remember Vaughters' puffed up face during the tour a few years ago after a sting, but he couldn't take anything to keep down the swelling? He had to drop out.

Many antipsychotic meds cause sun sensitivity. However, the way Millar has developed diarrhea of the mouth lately, I'm sure he's not taking them.
