How do you fight an invisible opponent like suspicion?

I don't think anybody else from my generation had federal agents standing at their door with a badge and a gun, saying: 'You are going to answer my questions'.

I have never had a single positive doping test, and I do not take performance-enhancing drugs.

One of the redeeming things about being an athlete is redefining what is humanly possible.

My greatest point is my persistence... However down I am, I fight until the last ball.

Everything in my life is in perspective. OK, perspective ebbs and flows. I've had bad days, but they weren't in the last years. A bad day is 2 October 1996: 'We've got bad news for you, you've got advanced testicular cancer and you've got a coin's toss chance of survival.' That's a bad day.

Marathons are hard because of the physical pain, the pounding on the muscles, joints, tendons.
