The road cyclist and Scottish Commonwealth gold medal winner said going as the "black sheep" would not be a "joyful experience".
Millar, 35, was in 2004 suspended from cycling for two years after he admitted using the "blood-boosting" drug EPO. Now back at the top of the sport – and campaigning to prevent others making the same mistakes – he is still subject to a lifetime Olympic ban imposed by the British Olympic Association under its byelaw for those found guilty of taking performance-enhancing drugs.
