Anything is possible, but you have to believe and you have to fight.

I have never doped … I have competed as an endurance athlete for 25 years with no spike in performance, passed more than 500 drug tests and never failed one.

I'm sorry you don't believe in miracles.

Chasing records doesn't keep me on my bike. Happiness does.

It's frustrating in the sense that I still think I could be competing at some sport at a fairly high level, which nobody cares about. Nobody wants to hear me say that.

The day it all changed. The day I stated never to take anything for granted. The day I learned to take charge of my life. It was the day I was diagnosed with cancer.

My career is going to be played out year by year. Will I be here in 2004? I don't know. The record won't keep me here. Happiness will.
