If I am lining up for a race, and I know there is someone there who cheats, it upsets me.

For myself, losing is not coming second. It's getting out of the water knowing you could have done better. For myself, I have won every race I've been in.

I lost races because I wanted too much to win them in beating my rivals.

I've got to win every race.

One must not cheat anyone, not even the world of its victory.

I would prefer even to fail with honor than win by cheating.

I race to win, not to please people.

I've lost a lot more races than I've ever won... it's all part of the journey, really.

I'm not a cheater, but if I win Olympic gold and people are looking at me and saying I am a cheat because I've won, it's hugely disrespectful given the hard work I've put in.
