Yeah not many pro cyclists come across as charismatic, but Millar strikes me as being having the unfortunate disposition of being a bit pretentious but fundamentally quite dull. Avant-garde for teh pro peleton but a bit Top Man for the real world.
The doping... He cooperated eventually, and grabbed onto the penitence dollar (strong dollar) and all that but i still don't find him inspirational or worthy for it-why not get Obree down to speak to juniors about doping pressure or mental health, he's probably got more to say about it than anyone and it would help repair BC's reputation as to how they managed all that too.
Some people just don't like David Millar, and I don't think doping really comes into it as much as his tendencies towards designing his own shoes and wearing porkpie hats with no sense of irony etcetera
