Hat Trick Post

My third that is.

David Millar is making a comeback, he is joining the Saunier Duvaul team for the Tour next summer. His ban lifts 9 days before the tour starts. I'm still on the fence of whether I'll be supporting him or not. He was my favorite cyclist until he got caught for blood doping.

In other news, I'm feeling a bit better, I had my blood tests and they rush malaria tests, so I should have results tomorrow.

And here I thought you were going to pull a rabbit out of a top hat! Boy am I disappointed! ;o)

I would find it hard to cheer for a guy who had been caught doping (at least at first). If he can earn back a clean reputation, then I'd have no problem. Guess you'll just have to wait and see!

What ever happened with all the 'rumors' in the news about Lance doping? Was he cleared?

Not yet, they are still investigating. UCI and WADA are fighting over stuff to do with this right now. But in all honesty, when are the two not fighting!

I would have no quams cheering for Miller, for 2 reasons:

1) Almost everyone is using performance enhancing drugs (at least everyone good anyways); therefore rendering it impossible to cheer for anyone who is actually "clean".

2) He accepted the fact that he was caught, and admitted to abusing. It's much easier to respect someone who readily admits to "making a mistake" than someone who repeatedly denies similar accusations (ahem, Lance Armstrong).

In conclusion, Burger says, go Miller.
