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

It's something I find enjoyable. Whether it is a road bike or mountain bike or tandem bike. I enjoy riding a bike.

Hard work, sacrifice and focus will never show up in tests.

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

Nobody needs to cry for me. I'm going to be great.

[A 2005 response to doping allegations] Unfortunately, the witch hunt continues and tomorrow's article is nothing short of tabloid journalism. The paper even admits in its own article that the science in question here is faulty and that I have no way to defend myself. They state: 'There will therefore be no counter-exam nor regulatory prosecutions, in a strict sense, since defendant's rights cannot be respected.' I will simply restate what I have said many times: I have never taken performance enhancing drugs.

So if there is a purpose to the suffering that is cancer, I think it must be this: it's meant to improve us.
