It's frustrating in the sense that I still think I could be competing at some sport at a fairly high level, which nobody cares about. Nobody wants to hear me say that.

Regardless of one victory, two victories, four victories, there's never been a victory by a cancer survivor. That's a fact that hopefully I'll be remembered for.

I joined the swim team when I was 12, and I was the worst kid in the pool - I was put with a group of 7-year-olds.

I have never had a single positive doping test, and I do not take performance-enhancing drugs.

I didn't invent the culture, but I didn't try to stop the culture.

I can get up in the morning and look myself in the mirror and my family can look at me too and that's all that matters.

I know what happened to cycling from 1999 to 2005. I saw its growth, I saw its expansion.
