From Jeremy Whittle in Liège, Belgium
DAVID MILLAR, of Great Britain, world time-trial champion
and leader of Cofidis, the French team, was placed under
official judicial inquiry yesterday in Nanterre, France, in
the latest development in the spiralling doping
investigation into his team. Millar is now formally under
investigation on suspicion of ?acquiring and possessing
toxic substances?, according to French judicial sources.
After being taken into custody for questioning by police in
Biarritz last week, Millar was banned from competing in this
year?s Tour de France, which begins here tomorrow, by the
race organisation. The Scot, who wore the leader?s yellow
jersey on his debut in July 2000 and has won three stages,
was released after questioning in Nanterre, north of Paris,
by the magistrate, Richard Pallain.
According to reports, Millar was interviewed for two hours.
The questioning was ?non-confrontational?, Paul-Albert
Iwens, Millar?s lawyer, said. ?David Millar confirmed what
he said in his police interview, that?s to say the use of
EPO (erythropoietin, the blood-booster). He recalled with
sadness some things which had been hard for him to bear.
There were some very emotional moments during the
interview.?
