Sincere Apologies Are For Those That Make

You Don't Suffer, Kill Yourself And Take The Risks I Take Just For Money. I Love Bike Racing.

If People Really Want To Clean The Sport Of Cycling Up, All You Have To Do Is Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is.

I Wanted To Be Seen As A Good Person, And Never Wanted To Let People Down, But I Found It Hard To Handle The Fame Or Adulation. I Didn't Feel Worthy Of It. I Was Ashamed By Who I Thought I Was Because I Felt Partly Responsible [for The Abuse] And I Was Never Able To Enjoy The Stuff I Should Have Been Able To Enjoy. My First Thought When I Won The Tour Was: 'my God, I'm Going To Be Famous', And Then I Thought, 'he's Going To Call'. I Was Always Waiting For That Phone Call. I Lived In Fear That Anyone Would Ever Find Out.

There Are So Many People Who Have Died Of Cycling, And That Didn't Happen When I Was Racing.

More People Should Apologize, And More People Should Accept Apologies When Sincerely Made.
