Miller told the CBS program, which released written excerpts Thursday, that "there have been times when I've been in really tough shape at the top of the course."
"Talk about a hard challenge right there . . . If you ever tried to ski when you're wasted, it's not easy," Miller said. "Try and ski a slalom when . . . you hit a gate less than every one second, so it's risky. You're putting your life at risk. . . . It's like driving drunk, only there are no rules about it in ski racing."
Asked if the risk meant he would never ski drunk again, the 28-year-old Miller replied, "No, I'm not saying that."
HOCKEY: The New York Rangers obtained forward Petr Sykora and a 2007 fourth-round draft choice from the Anaheim Mighty Ducks for defenseman Maxim Kondratiev .
Sykora, 29, has scored at least 20 goals in each of his last six NHL seasons. He had seven goals and 13 assists in 34 games for Anaheim this season.
Kondratiev, 22, has a goal and two assists in 29 games with the Rangers this season.
BOXING: Carlos Baldomir is not the undisputed welterweight champion after all.
The boxer who upset champion Zab Judah on Saturday night won only the WBC version of the title because he never paid the sanctioning fees to the WBA and the IBF.
Baldomir won a unanimous 12-round decision over Judah, but said in the postfight news conference he didn't want to pay the other fees.
"My purse was only $100,000," Baldomir said. "If I paid each of them the required three percent, I would have come away with nothing."
SOCCER: Burton Albion, a semipro team that includes a trainer and a sports shop assistant, played Manchester United to a 0-0 tie in the FA Cup in London.
