Lizzie Armitstead

The Rio experience for me is going to be completely different to London.

I will never cheat in any walk of life.

Integrity is something I strive for in every part of my life.

For the rest of my life, I realise people are going to ask questions of me, but at the end of the day, I am a clean athlete, and I have worked hard.

I remember taking my stabilisers off my bike with my dad in the back garden. It was a small little bike, and it was called Poppy, had balloons on it, and was purple.

I've been successful because I've never been someone to shy away from taking responsibility.

At the end of the day, cycling is a business, so we have to be able to offer something to a sponsor, and without exposure, that's going to be difficult, but that's where the UCI perhaps has to be a little bit stronger.

Cycling is a business.

I'm quite un-traditional.

I need to be fit and strong, and I don't want to carry any excess fat.

As long as my weight is healthy, then I eat what I want.

I eat a lot more now than I ever used to. I have taken a real interest in nutrition and believe in the difference that makes when fueling your body correctly. That means never skipping a meal and making sure that my diet supports my training needs.
