It Doesn't Get Any Easier; You Just

The Most Important Decision I Ever Made In My Career Was To Live My Life In Sports As Honestly And Ethically As Possible. Never Having Compromised My Values Allows Me To Look Back On My Life With No Regrets And Feel Satisfaction In What I Was Able To Accomplish.

Testing, We Will Never Do Enough Of It.

I Wanted To Be Seen As A Good Person, And Never Wanted To Let People Down, But I Found It Hard To Handle The Fame Or Adulation. I Didn't Feel Worthy Of It. I Was Ashamed By Who I Thought I Was Because I Felt Partly Responsible [for The Abuse] And I Was Never Able To Enjoy The Stuff I Should Have Been Able To Enjoy. My First Thought When I Won The Tour Was: 'my God, I'm Going To Be Famous', And Then I Thought, 'he's Going To Call'. I Was Always Waiting For That Phone Call. I Lived In Fear That Anyone Would Ever Find Out.

I Know It Is Possible To Win The Tour Without Taking Anything.

There Are So Many People Who Have Died Of Cycling, And That Didn't Happen When I Was Racing.
