00:00I mean I absolutely believe in clean sport and I hope that this is a clean

00:04Games. It's obviously disappointing to hear that news and hear about the pre

00:10Tokyo 23 athletes testing positive some multiple times and for me racing someone

00:17that was one of those athletes or finding out he was one of those athletes

00:21was disappointing. I think it's less about what country they came from and

00:26more about the system and how the system ultimately like it feels like

00:30it's failed and that's the truth I think like obviously I can have all the

00:37opinions but I'm now focused on like what I can control going into these

00:41games and being a clean athlete and looking to that and hoping that my

00:45competitors are doing the same. I mean everyone probably knows is aware of Rule

00:4850 here and the repercussions that happen with that I think like potentially we

00:54could see protests in other events as well. Personally I think I'd make a

00:59decision probably on the day but you know at the end of the day I'm a clean

01:03athlete and I'm trying to abide by those rules and I just hope my competitors do

01:07the same.
