David Millar to retire from cycling at end of 2014 season British cyclist David Millar has announced he intends to retire at the end of the 2014 season. The Scot, 36, has won four individual Tour de France stages and also won stages at the Vuelta a Espana and the Giro d'Italia during a 16-year career. In 2004, he was suspended for two years for taking a banned substance. "It has kind of crept up and I am suddenly realising it is time," Millar told the Dutch cycling magazine Wieler Revue. But Millar believes he is still in fine shape ahead of next season and wants one final push before quitting the sport. "It has been quite organic really," he said. You always think it is going to be a definitive moment, but it hasn't. I think my body is actually getting stronger. It is just that I don't want it or need it as much as I once did. It is very much a conscious decision. I can still be on top of the game - I know that - but it is a lot harder for me now and I want to be on top of my game next year. With the motivation of knowing it is my last year, I know I can get the best out of myself. Millar's career was tarnished when he was found guilty of taking erythropoietin (EPO) - a drug that controls red blood cell production - but he has since become an anti-drugs campaigner after returning to cycling in 2006.
