LONDON (AFP) ? British cyclist David Millar was handed a two year ban and stripped of his world time trial title by the British cycling federation for taking the banned performance enhancer EPO.
The 27-year-old Scot's use of blood booster erythropoietin was uncovered when French police raided his Biarritz home in June as part of their drugs investigation into his team Cofidis.
Two empty capsules of Eprex, a commonly used form of EPO, were found in his flat.
He later confessed to taking the prohibited substance in 2001 and 2003, an admission that led to his sacking by Cofidis.
Millar's case was heard by the British cycling federation's disciplinary panel.
