You have to know this: running a 100m race is an intense experience. You have a lot of emotion at the end of the race. It is not easy to control that when you win.
From Maurice Greene
Athens is a great place for me. It is my second home. It's where I won my first world championship medal, it's where I set my world record.
I have a God-given talent and I work very hard for what I do. Anybody can run fast. It's how you run fast. I pay attention to technical things now.
The world record will come to me when I run the world record race. I'm just trying to perfect my race. I'm looking for perfection.
If you look at the sponsors who were in the sport 15 years ago compared to now there are a lot fewer. Why? Because those runners who took drugs tainted the sport. They tainted all of us in it.
I don't think about second or third place.
My stance has always been that there's no place in our sport for drug users. I've always said it's a ban for life if you come up positive. I stand by that.
If you do not train hard you will never fulfill your potential.
When the gun fires you must concentrate for every second on the way to that finish line. You should know exactly how long it will take you to and think about every step of the race you are about to run.
You have got to believe in yourself every time you go out there and race. If you have no faith in your ability all that training has been a waste of time.
