Athletics set the right sentiment for a clean and believable sport.
I've been asked a lot lately if tennis is clean or not. I don't know any more how you judge whether a sport is clean. If one in 100 players is doping, in my eyes that isn't a clean sport.
Athletics is athletics. When you do sport, you are gambling. You run, you win, you lose. It doesn't matter if you are competing or you are not competing.
Athletics at the highest level is a sport within a sport.
A sport has its own built-in integrity, doesn't need an artificial one. Athletics carries its own set of truths, and those truths are diminished and manipulated by people with agendas.

With his competitive background in the sport as an Olympic champion coupled with his engaging personality and his experience as a board member of U.K. Athletics, he possesses all the qualities required to be a successful president.
No sport is 100 per cent clean - I think 95 per cent of the cyclists are clean. In the normal world, not everybody is clean.

You come before me this morning with clean hands and clean collars. I want you to have clean tongues, clean manners, clean morals and clean characters.
Unlike cricket or tennis, athletics receive no money and so it remains a poor man's sport.
For me sport was a religion... with religious sentiment.
I think as an athlete, especially in a sport like athletics, we don't wear very much on the track, so you have to look the part.
I was always hugely into sport before I started boxing. I played rugby, football, cricket, athletics, swimming.
Athletics is the mother of all sport and every child must try out it once during his school days.
All sentiment is right; because sentiment has a reference to nothing beyond itself, and is always real, wherever a man is conscious of it. But all determinations of the understanding are not right; because they have a reference to something beyond themselves, to wit, real matter of fact; and are not always conformable to that standard.
