We believe there is insufficient Customs cover in the South West - that's across the whole range of duties that Customs and Excise are responsible for. That includes drugs, tobacco and the new security responsibilities. We would like to see more cover in the South West.

There will always be cheaters. It is human nature. It will never be 100 percent clean, in no sport.

Each year we just hope to do better than the previous year. It's not about a money goal; it's about giving guests a great value and raising as much money as possible. It just gets bigger and better each year.

I didn't want to take it. I knew it was a powerful drug, but I also knew it was a catabolic drug that consumed the body.

It was ridiculous really. I had just won a major race despite not being in top form, yet I was going to dope.

I didn't care about goals or expectations any more, I was just determined to race my heart out.
