I'm not at all convinced that David Millar is currently clean, before
the police found his drugs, a lot of people were convinced he wasn't
doping. And if you consider punished riders as being too repentant to
dope, consider Alex Zulle, who finished 2nd in the 1999 Tour. If he
wasn't doping after his Festina suspension, then that means that
Armstrong beat a clean rider, which reduces suspicion on him given
your even playing field argument (not that Zulle wasn't riding that
much better when he was on EPO).
