Much as I like David Millar, he does come across a little un self-aware at times, perhaps lacking awareness of irony, self-deprecation. Those sorts of things.
Yeah, how dare he wear anything apart from a sack cloth and ashes !
But I agree, the hat looks stupid. I assume it is to cover some male pattern baldness issues ? (and that wasn’t sexist btw, I checked with the lads at work)
It was worn indoors.
It was tipped back a bit too far. (But tv doesn’t like people with their eyes in shadow)
Not enough hat wearing so essentially it’s a good thing, would rather see more hats like that than sporting activity caps with an emblem representing a sport you never play, a team you can’t name any players of or a city in a foreign country you couldn’t point to on a map.
I feel that once you’ve been banned for using drugs you should not be allowed back into the sport.
So how do you propose this will work? Would an athlete who mistakenly took a minute amount of banned substance via an over the counter medicine face a lifetime ban under your system?
To be fair the “hypocrite” bit is fully justified.. David Millar is a long term celebrity anti-hat campaigner, who’s worked tirelessly against the use of casual headwear, then pulls a stunt like this on national tv..
It’s so he can hide his drugs under it. **** hypocrite.
It was 12 years ago, time to let it go..?
Not sure really….he made a mistake and that’s fair enough, but should he be presenting on TV the biggest cycling event in the world with that history? For me its a NO. Must be plenty of others who didn’t get caught take drugs?
