I'm still not at 100 percent since the crash last week. |
I'm very optimistic, |

My chances of racing in this year's Tour de France are slim to none. That's what got me out of bed every morning. |
Not for a second did I think it was going to turn out this way. The bottom line is an innocent athlete was suspended from competition. You could say it's a victory for USADA (U.S. Anti Doping Agency), but I think it's better to say it's a tragedy for all athletes. I'm innocent. |
