Millar tackles sport's President over doping

David Millar yesterday publicly confronted the President of the International Cycling Union, (UCI), accusing him, in the aftermath of the Lance Armstrong scandal, of a refusal to accept any responsibility for the doping affairs that have plagued cycling for over a decade.

Banned for doping offences in 2004, Millar, who is working at the World Championships as a commentator for the BBC, questioned UCI President Pat McQuaid in a press conference in Holland.

The Scot refuted McQuaid's statement that the UCI had done all it could to combat doping in cycling. "We all know it was easy to beat the system," Millar said. "I was one of the people who easily beat the system."
