“As an athlete and as a person my biggest pride is to know that everything I’ve ever accomplished- I did without the use of any performance enhancing drugs. This is the letter I just received from the USADA saying I tested clean at the World Championships in 2015. I was born like this, I have lived like this & I’ll die like this,” wrote the champion.
