It doesn't matter whether it was deliberate or not at the time - mistakes don't have to be inadvertent. I've done things deliberately which I thought were OK at the time but which I now know were mistakes.

And the Shipman/Allitt/Blair comparison is truly ridiculous. There's a clear difference between deliberately killing people and taking a banned drug to make yourself a faster cyclist. The public health risk associated with the former demands no second chances - the risk associated with the latter demands punishment but not to the same degree.

Assuming Millar won his gold clean, what's the problem?

He got caught, put his hands up and served his time, job done. It's how justice works. There are far worse things people do than cheating in a bike race and we accept that they are entitled to live a full life once they've completed their punishment, good luck to DM.
