British national champion in 1995... apart from that he was basically a super-domestique at Team Z for LeMond and Pensec then on to TVM where it was more of the same, then Le Groupement which was a disaster and Obree reports the team's doping program was the reason he left (though Millar didn't leave so...)
He had one positive for testosterone I believe, in the early 90's, which is common knowledge. He talks about 'health additives' and other coded language quite openly in a few interviews in which he frames it as a health thing in restoring natural levels but he doesn't openly say he knowingly doped.
I'm still doubtful he took epo-the guy was still riding clips and straps when he retired and was pretty old-school in some respects in as much he was really progressive about diet and preparation-he paid for his own wheels to be built with Royce hubs and used their Ti bottom bracket and was really meticulous with 'marginal gains'.
He's always been pretty forthright so I wouldn't be surprised if he talks about it openly sometime in the future.
