It's nice that at least one rider speaks out and doesn't seem afraid of recriminations from the rest of the peloton.

Look at what a whiner Simoni was made out to be for calling Basso's Giro performance extraterrestrial. Look at anyone like Frankie Andreu who comes out regarding doping on the USPS team back in 1999 or testifying regarding Armstrong. That kind of public statement, whether in the press or under oath, gets riders the cold shoulder. Millar apparently doesn't care about cold shoulders, which is refreshing.

Yeah, Millar doped, but he copped to it and did his time w/o excuses. That should earn some respect right there.

What's interesting to me is the lack of opinion on the matter from Armstrong. If anyone could bully-pulpit this topic in pro cycling, it's Lance. However he's curiously absent from these discussions because he's so involved with his foundation. Hmmm......
