    Knowing next to nothing about professional cycling I have however stumbled upon across Paul Kimmage's excellent Rough Ride and recently David Millar's Racing Through The Dark due to being stuck in an airport.
    <spoiler alert>
    Kimmage's book is brutally frank about an average rider who starts doping at the end of his career and feels guilty about it.
    Millar's is brutally frank about an above average rider who starts doping early on his career and feels guilty about it.

    Question is, are they friends now?

    Very much so. Kimmage has alot of faith in what Millar. He followed Garmin at a TDF and reckons they're clean

    It's a sting from Off The Ball from before Kimmage reconciled with Millar

    Indeed it was, sorry for being cryptic. It was the vehemence of that denouncement, and also in the Millar book Kimmage is corruscating about Millar yet ends up as an embedded journalist with him that made me curious as to how it ended up.

    Oh, that's the "He deserves another chance, he does in his ..." I never realised that was about them.

    Ditto.. I always thought it was Dunphy about Staunton. (Steve not Robbie)
