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.[1] Following this disqualification, the UCI declared Michael Rogers as the winner with the silver medal going to Uwe Peschel and the bronze to Michael Rich.[2]
Jeannie Longo rode alone ahead of the pack for most of the women's road race but was passed approximately 500m from the finish.
