I can count off on one hand the number of times I've used testosterone gel - because it doesn't really do much.

Of course they were saying: No doping! But as a rider, it's difficult to believe that things can really change from one day to the next.

The message I understood was this: Just don't get caught!

The patient in the bed next to me told me that the newspapers were reporting on the test, and it was on television all day long.

My mother had to justify the fact that she had heart pills.

The truth is that things were already going so poorly for me that nothing surprised me anymore. But then the BKA sent 20 agents to search my house.

I made a big mistake. There's no doubt about it. But there have been positive testing cases in the past where the offender wasn't attacked to quite the same extent, especially not by other riders.

I wasn't in a position to defend myself. Sometimes it's a brutal profession. The first thing I thought of at the time was revenge. I have a more levelheaded take on the issue today.

Riders called me up afterwards to say that they had had no other choice. I couldn't understand the way they changed their tune.

I wouldn't call it an addiction. But the truth is, when you join a team as a new professional you encounter a system. As a young rider, older riders let you know how the business works.

I assumed the amount wouldn't be detectable. I also didn't feel that I had done anything wrong.

Most people have not become better than they were five years ago because people hardly invest time into improving their knowledge, skills, and talents.

If you are going to worry, don't do it. If you do it, don't worry.

% of what you understand in a conversation is read through the body, not the words.

I'm not very glamorous.

As many as received Him, to them gave He power to become the sons of God.

I want to be cremated, and I want my ashes blown in Uri Geller's eyes.

One thing that Chairman Mao did was to end the appalling foot binding of women. That alone justifies the Mao Tse-tung era.

If you know the North, you know where the South is; if you know the darkness, you know where the light is! Evil is an excellent compass for the good!

In the end, you'll know which people really love you. They're the ones who see you for who you are and, no matter what, always find a way to be at your side.

There will be water if God wills it.
