It doesn't get any easier; you just get faster.

If people really want to clean the sport of cycling up, all you have to do is put your money where your mouth is.

There are so many people who have died of cycling, and that didn't happen when I was racing.

It is cycling as a professional sport that represents the problem. It can transform someone into a liar.

I know too that we Americans like to think of ourselves as cleaner than clean, a healthy nation who would never take anything when a recent poll suggested that 65 per cent of the population would risk dying in 10 years if they would be guaranteed Olympic gold.

I rode in a nine-day charity ride recently, averaged 43km a day and still finished in the lead group. I'm 38, not quite finished yet.

Testing, we will never do enough of it.
