What wrong with coming clean (no pun intended)?
We all crab and moan what a bunch of liars they all are when they deny, but then people crab and moan the same when David Millar get back on a team after he does his two years without dragging it all out like Hamilton did.
Yeah, people can still suspect Millar all they want, but admitting guilt should be step one in reacceptance into the fold. Trust? That comes much much later.
There is forgiveness out there, but perhaps not a podium spot in a UCI event.
