cancer careers giving
It gave me a chance to re-evaluate my life and my career. Cancer certainly gives things a new perspective. I would not have won the Tour de France if I had not had cancer. It gave me new strength and focus.

My career is going to be played out year by year. Will I be here in 2004? I don't know. The record won't keep me here. Happiness will.
winning care loser
The biggest losers are those who care only about winning.
sports athlete caring
What makes a great endurance athlete is the ability to absorb potenial embarrassment, and to suffer without complaint. I was discovering that if it was a matter of gritting my teeth, not caring how it looked, and outlasting everybody else, I won. It didn't seem to matter what sport it was-in a straight-ahead, long-distant race, I could beat anybody. If it was a suffer-fest, I was good at it.
years careers competition
Twenty-plus-year career, 500 drug controls worldwide, in and out of competition. Never a failed test. I rest my case.

Nobody wants to hear how I think I've been mistreated, or how I think my punishment should be lifted, or tweaked, or reduced. Nobody wants to hear me say that, nobody cares what I think about this. I get it.

All I can say is that when we got a phone call to ask if I was interested in driving the Pace Car at Indy, it was a very short conversation. It was like, 'Are you kidding? Of course.' It's a huge honor and something that I am very excited to do. Hopefully I cannot mess things up, if that's possible.
