Paula Radcliffe

We, as athletes, have our suspicions about who's cheating, but I'm not convinced that the testing has yet caught up with what people are using or what they are using to disguise it.
Paula Radcliffe
It's good to be back, feeling like myself and enjoying it.
Paula Radcliffe
In my Olympic history I don't think I have achieved my potential as an athlete. That's what I want when I look back at my career. I want to be able to say I gave it my best shot.
