In a BBC Report David Millar who was the guest speaker at the Bermuda Bicycle Association’s (BBA) Award’s Night back in 2007 believes cycling has gone from being one of the sports worst affected by doping to leading the fight against performance-enhancing drugs.
Millar, 32, this week had a Commonwealth Games life ban for doping overturned on appeal by Scotland.
And he said of his sport: "It's cleaner than it's ever been.
"In a decade, we have gone from being probably one of the dirtiest professional sports to the sport that is at the vanguard of anti-doping."
"I am responsible for my actions but I also know it was preventable," said Millar of his involvement in doping.
"I know that a younger version of me wouldn't have done it in a different sport. If [the younger Millar] was in the sport today it wouldn't have happened but from turning professional at 19 I was confronted with room-mates injecting themselves.
