I don't think there are really enough meetings in Britain for our athletes to compete properly, and because of this a lot of the talent we have has been stunted.

My first love is the sport, and it will always be my priority.

I coach a few guys and they work very, very hard, but in our day we did it because we just loved it.

Some of today's athletes do not have that kind of pride. They left school at 16, have never had a job in their life and are getting Lottery funding, earning money as an athlete.
