David Millar to represent Great Britain at Olympics

Millar named in Team GB

David Millar has been included in Great Britain's cycling team for this summer's London Olympics, despite his previous drugs ban.

The 35-year-old was served a two-year ban in 2004 after being found guilty of taking an illegal substance EPO, which was used to enhance performance.

Following the overturning of the British Olympic Association's lifetime ruling against drug cheats, Millar is eligible to compete in the Games.

The Scotsman will be joined by Mark Cavendish, Bradley Wiggins, Ian Stannard and Chris Froome, who also made the cut for the five-man team.
