  • "I compete clean because I love sports, because I love my wife and kids, because I love my country, because drugs and sport are incompatible, because it is the right thing to do."
  • "The secrets to my success are family, training, clean of drugs, believing in my potential, great coaches, and teammates"
  • "I love my sport because of the required skill, strategy of the game, competition, respect, a chance to represent USA."
