And then you have the responsibility and the duty of being good examples to youngsters, not smoke, training hard, go to bed early, don't drink alcohol, don't take drugs, it's very important to have a policy for educating against doping.
From Alberto Juantorena
We want to promote the great qualities of athletics - and maintain its integrity - all over the world.
We want to make sure our athletes have a future once their athletics careers are over.
We need to be aware of all aspects: To check how they travel, how they eat, the competition conditions.
We do not use managers, we are the representatives of our athletes, and that is why I am deeply involved in athletics, I follow our athletes careers from start to finish, 100% all the way.
We are just not made up to be middle distance runners.
Then I received support from the Government to compete for my country, and to represent Cuba in competition.
The most important part of this is to prepare the athlete for life in general and then be able to compete.
My main point in this regard was to compete for my country and my people and to receive the support of the entire Cuban society, to carry my flag in whatever competition I was in, the Olympic Games, Pan-American Games.
In Cuba we use our champions to promote the sport.
