Lizzie Armitstead

My focus has to be on my career.

Any woman in any career has to think about when they have children, if they want to have children, and how it's going to affect their career.

As far as I'm concerned, as soon as you reach your goal, then that's the box ticked for me. I don't feel the need to repeat titles or repeat victories; as soon as I get the one, then I'm happy.

It hurts me to consider anybody questioning my performances.

I have got lots of silver medals, from Delhi in 2010 and London in 2012, so it would be nice to pick up some golds, and the Commonwealth Games is a great place to start.

Outside the Olympics, there are massive discrepancies within all sports. But the positive side for me is that the Olympics are the biggest platform there is, and there's total equality across all sports.

As I get older, it's getting more frustrating because I'm starting to think about what I'm going to do after cycling, and I may be pushed to study alongside riding in order to prepare for retirement - all those things the professional blokes don't really have to think about.

I could have been banned. That's what I was most scared about. All the hard work being for nothing. It was basically my livelihood and my sport being taken away from me. It was everything.

I need to go out on a ride feeling full and feeling ready.

In terms of being a famous person, it hasn't changed anything. It's not important for me.

I can only tell you that I am a clean athlete and an honest person.

I'm one of the most tested athletes in the world.
