I know what happened to my foundation, from raising no money to raising $500m, serving three million people. Do we want to take that away? I don't think anybody says yes.

The ban is completely out of my hands. And I think in most people's minds, even if it's unrealistic to them, it's one that I left myself with no choice on.

I'm not a patient person.

A boo is a lot louder than a cheer, if you have 10 people cheering and one person booing, all you hear is the booing.

If you go to Wikipedia and you look at the Tour de France, there's this huge block in World War One with no winners, and there's another block in World War Two. And then it seems like there's another world war.

It's nice to win. I'll never win again. I may have to take up golf - take on Tiger.

Truth is, a triathlete won the Tour de France seven times.
