sports survival awful
Survival is the main objective. There are going to be some awful days, I know that from my background in the sport.
sports team two
Now there are two or three teams who are very ethical in their outlook who have opened up the economic benefits and that is probably going to be a turning point in the sport.
sports mean might
I might have changed, but that did not mean the sport had.
sports athlete cheater
There will always be cheaters. It is human nature. It will never be 100 percent clean, in any sport.
sports stupid thinking
Cycling is such a stupid sport. Next time you are in a car travelling at 40mph think about jumping out - naked. That's what it's like when we crash.
men normal people punished sports women
Why should sports men and women get punished harsher than people in the normal world?
controls cycling fact harsh judicial sports truth
In fact cycling has always been 'saved' by judicial investigations and not by the anti-doping controls we put in place. That's the harsh truth. We have relied on them to clean the sport up.
bigger gets giving great guests hope money previous raising value year
Each year we just hope to do better than the previous year. It's not about a money goal; it's about giving guests a great value and raising as much money as possible. It just gets bigger and better each year.
champion proud
I've been proud to be national champion.
cheater people way
But human nature dictates that there will always be cheaters. That's inevitable. Where there's money involved and glory, there are going to be people that cheat, and there will always be ways to cheat.
done accumulation good-and-bad
I'm an accumulation of every single thing I've done, good and bad.
team lazy legs
I shave my legs twice a week. It's hard the first time you do it. But I'm very lazy. For a team photo in December I just did the fronts.
team simple cycling
To be brutally honest, it's simple economics. If they want to come into cycling, sponsors need to know the team they are funding is clean, otherwise the risk is just too great.
fall sky drunk
The sky was falling down on me and I spent most of the time drunk. It was the only way I could handle it.
