Former British cycling star Robert Millar revealed he has undergone a sex change and is now known as Philippa York.
The Scot (58), who was a master climber crowned King of the Mountains in the 1984 Tour de France &mdash; wrote in cyclingnews.com she had been Philippa York for a while but had only announced the news now because 'times had moved on'.
"As much as I've guarded my privacy over the years there are a few, I believe obvious, reasons to why I haven't had a public 'image' since I transitioned," York wrote.
"Gratifyingly, times have moved on from 10 years ago when my family, friends and I were subjected to the archaic views and prejudice that some people and sections of the tabloid media held.
"Thankfully gender issues are no longer a subject of such ignorance and intolerance, there's a much better acceptance and understanding."
