Biography
David Millar is a Scottish retired professional road racing cyclist born in 1977. During his athletic career, he competed for Cofidis between 1997 and 2004, and later for Garmin–Sharp from 2008 to 2014. He achieved notable sporting success by winning four stages of the Tour de France, five stages of the Vuelta a España, and one stage of the Giro d'Italia. In 2007, he won both the British national road championship and the national time trial championship.
In 2004, Millar was handed a two-year suspension after admitting to the use of banned performance-enhancing drugs. Following the completion of his ban, he returned to the sport as an anti-doping campaigner, earning a reputation that led journalist Alasdair Fotheringham to refer to him as an elder statesman of cycling.
