I worry when athletes are simply used by their universities to produce revenue, to make money for them, nothing to show at the back end. I grew up with a lot of players who had very, very tough lives after the ball started bouncing for them. And that's why I'm going to continue to fight. ↗

I long for the days when athletes were revered. I want to see the romance return to sports, to see people enjoy the game purely for the game and the players. ↗

My guess is many top athletes, distance runners included, use performance-enhancing drugs, enough so that the problem must be tackled. ↗
