I'm not willing to put a percentage on the chances but I will no longer rule it out.

Do it even if you shouldn't, do it becuase you want to, do it becuase it will make things better.

But the fact is that I wouldn't have won even a single Tour de France without the lesson of illness. What it teaches is this: pain is temporary. Quitting lasts forever.

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

If you ever get a second chance in life for something, you've got to go all the way.

When you know your not going to die, you have to ask yourself... What's the highest and best use for myself.

What athletes do may not be that healthy, the way we push our bodies completely over the edge to the degrees that are not human. I've said all along that I will not live as long as the average person.
