Biography
Anna Millward (Wilson until her marriage in 2000) did not start out in life as an athlete. Instead, with the encouragement of her family, especially her father, who passed away when she was 11 years old, academics were given great emphasis in her upbringing. At that point in life, Millward concentrated on her youthful passion, the sciences. Later, at the urging of a teacher, she pursued a combined law and science degree at Monash University. The study of law gradually gained favor with her until she made it her primary study, eventually graduating with a degree in law.
It was also while attending university that she discovered her other passion - the bicycle. Initially riding a bicycle commuting to and from school, Millward and some friends decided to enter the Great Victorian Bike Ride, a nine-day recreational tour. Millward traces her passion for the bike to this tour.
Then in 1993, she decided to enter her first race, a lower grade event with her local club which she won. This marked the beginnings of an illustrious cycling career that would lead to many victories in prestigious events.
Lidocaine In 2001, while racing with the Australian national team in the Tour de l'Aude, Millward tested positive for lidocaine, an anti-inflammatory which was a banned substance under UCI rules. Millward claimed that the positive test had resulted from her use of a topical ointment which she had used to treat mosquito bites during the Tour. The ointment, which contained lidocaine as one of its ingredients, had been provided in the medical kit supplied to her by the Australian Institute of Sport. It also transpired that had Millward simply recorded on her drug test form that she was using a substance containing lidocaine, a positive test result would not have been recorded. The Tour de lAude Cycliste Féminin, to use its full official name, is the longest running officially sanctioned UCI event on the womens elite cycle racing calendar. ...
Lidocaine (INN) or lignocaine (former BAN) is a popular local anesthetic often used in dentistry or topically. ...

Millward voluntarily stood down from racing until a hearing was held on the matter, at which time she was exonerated of any wrongdoing.
