We are confident that five days is a sufficient time to allow for the blood values to normalize if they are the result of living at a high altitude or dehydration.

In the future, it is likely that highly sophisticated blood profiling methods, in addition to urine testing, will be required to prove blood manipulation.

You go back to the start of time. One cave guy was fighting another cave guy because his club was bigger than his or his woman had longer hair. That’s competition.

He was fighting himself. He pitched well the last time he started.

I'm happy where I finished, but at the same time I was really fighting for that spot up there on the medal podium. I am a little disappointed. Actually, I'm a lot disappointed. It's so close, but just out of reach.
