When you see athletes like me win gold medals, you only see the finished product, you dont see the real effort that the likes of Ron have put into making that product. Without the Ron Roddans of this world, you would have no sport.

If you criticise something then you have to have an alternative, but we do have to try and improve things.

The Stroke Association has produced leaflets that set out clearly the health risks associated with stroke that African-Caribbean people face.

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.

I think the athletes respond well to me because I have been successful.

I think it's great that they are getting funding, but it's just too easy. They don't have to work for it. We did it because we had pride, because we loved it.

Robert Fox is real good! Enough said!
