I've done whatever it takes to prove I am a clean athlete.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
For the rest of my life, I realise people are going to ask questions of me, but at the end of the day, I am a clean athlete, and I have worked hard.
I was an athlete. And I proved I didn't win just because I was pretty. I was good, too.
I know that I was put on this planet to be an athlete.
No other athlete in any sport has ever had to go through what I have to.
Obviously, you're known for what you do. But you still want to be known as a good person. You're a person a lot longer before and after you're a professional athlete.
I think being an athlete prepares you for more things than people give us credit for.
I've done sport for a long time.
I'm not an athlete, I'm a baseball player.
I'm a different athlete, I'm a different person.
The only way to prove that you're a good sport is to lose.
