Scottish rider David Millar wins British title in Manchester
Scottish rider David Millar has won the British national title in the 4000m pursuit on his first attempt in Manchester, winning in four minutes, 22.322 seconds, and beating England's Commonwealth champion Paul Manning by 1.86 seconds.
It was only David Millar's second competitive pursuit after finishing a two-year doping ban in May following his admission that he had taken the blood-booster EPO.
David Millar, 29, is ineligible for the Olympics under British Olympic Association (BOA) rules but he raced for Great Britain at the road World Championship last month.
David Millar is unlikely to represent Britain on the track, with British Cycling bosses determined to only select potential Olympic riders in World Championships and World Cups.
David Millar said he wished the BOA would change the law and said: "It's a shame but that's their rules.
"Maybe at some point I'd like to challenge that when I have got my life sorted out. But I have to deserve it and, at the moment, I'm an ex-doper."
