according to French newspaper l'Equipe. According to the

found at his home in the French Atlantic resort town of
Biarritz.

And IIRC, he never tested positive. This beautiful sport is
being destroyed from within.

What a [censored].

I predict that Migraine withdraws funding from the team at
the end of the season ... no more Cofidis.

Thing is with Millar ... I would have thought that he'd be
racing clean this year for sure (if not in years past) due
to l'affaire Cofidis, especially, as [censored] as he's been
doing ....

[L'Equipe] «Millar aurait reconnu avoir utilisé de l'Eprex
(erythropoïetine) dans l'exercice de sa profession ce qui le
place aujourd'hui réglementairement dans la même situation
qu'un coureur contrôlé positif au regard de l'Union cycliste
internationale»,

Awfully strange stuff to put in your Haggis, Laddie!!!

None of you actually believed that this global citizen
(he regards himself as not as a Scot, but as a citizen
of the world), had the abilities he displayed? Put the
peloton in Abu Graib, and you'd soon find out the whole
gig is a fraud.

Eurosport is jumping the gun, CN too in its headline, but
not in the article with the abundant "allegedly"s. Nothing
confirmed yet: "aurait reconnu" -- would have admitted.

This is tabloid [censored]. These are trumped up charges. His
confession was coerced. Millar has never tested positive.

You would have thought so, wouldn't you.

However, I'm strongly of the belief that 99% of the riders
are taking something.........

I think I might have translated it as either "may have
admitted" or "might have admitted." Thus, my translation
would have been:

"According to the June 25th edition of L'Equipe, David
Millar may have admitted to have taken EPO during his 48
hour interrogation at the Biarritz police station. 'Millar
may have acknowledged having used Eprex during his career,
which would place him in the same category as a rider who
had tested positive from the UCI's point of view,' wrote
the journal."

Thanks. I like to think I'm struggling less and less to find
the right can/may/would/could/etc, but obviously still screw
it up now and again (maybe put off by a post with the same
translation in u.r.c.).

I'm impressed. Anyone that will take EPO right there in the
police station in order to get through a 48 hour
interrogation has cajones.

Or am I reading that wrong?

Guess Gaumont was telling the truth, after David called him
"a comlete nutter" and a manipulator. Hope David saved up
some of his earnings, he'll need something to live on during
his suspension.

This is the end of the road for Confidis; surely now they
will be thrown out of the tour?

Also a sad day for a dear friend of mine, a lady called
June, who used to coach David when he was young. She has
utmost faith in him, he gave her his first yellow Jersey
signed to 'Auntie June'.

Are we heading for another 98 tour? The timings are
dreadful for the sport, and will lead to media
scandalisation of the whole sport. If you have some paint
and no brain then head for the route now to start painting
those syringes on the road!

As for me, well even I am beginning to question Lance
Armstrong. This whole affair will give the LA book even more
credibility.

LeBlanc just gave Millar his hearty "blessing" (Something
akin to "hope you have a good life..."😉.

Thus, my translation would have been:

Ok 'nuff French 101. I think you'll find "Millar allegedly
admitted to taking drugs." will do. What this means is that
someone thinks they heard him admitting and went and phoned
l'Equippe.

The potential charges are worse than that, he may be charged
with trafficking as he was supplying his team mates and
could/would/might (insert modal verb to choice) do stir.

Yeah. In French papers, the future conditional
circumlocution thing probably means something like
"allegedly," which is what you had in cyclingnews.com. In
the US, the newspapers would probably have written
something like, "on condition of anonymity, a source close
to the investigation reported that Millar admitted to
having used EPO."
