Apparently he's still in there. I believe that there was a danger of suicide ? they had to take him to the hospital. |
He's in custody to protect himself because apparently he's said he wanted to commit suicide or something like that. |
I could have prevented him from coming but I didn't. His team was running and I can understand if he wanted to buy some tickets and be there. |
I think they're going too far with the whole thing. This is not sport ... We won't live with this. We can't have our guys going through this. It's no longer about sport, it's just about rumors. |
I'm against doping but they shouldn't do that. They should go up to athletes openly and show their badge. You can't treat athletes as if every one of them was a scoundrel. |
Maybe they were scared of the police, we don't know. They got in touch and we're going to talk about it. |
Officially, they could have left on Sunday anyway. But they just went off and we don't know why, and that's not acceptable. |
The question is not the number of syringes but what was in them. |
The question is not the number of syringes but what was in them. The point is not the number of needles. |
This is inexcusable. Whoever does such a thing can no longer be a model [for athletes]. ... We suspended him even before we found out he was in the hospital. |
We still don't have results ... I think it means they're all negative. If they were positive they would have published them immediately, no? After all that hassle. |
We will hold a hearing in Vienna once the Olympics are over. It doesn't matter what the IOC findings are, if we find they've done the wrong thing, they'll be banned officially. |
What I think is wrong is that you cannot say all of them are criminals in advance and treat them like criminals, and that's what is happening. |
