“He's like my mentor. He helps me a lot. If I have some problems, because my dad lives in Chicago, I go to him. He tells me to stay positive no matter what is going on and to keep my head.”
“We were surprised in our room. Suddenly the police came in and didn't let us leave on the night before the competition. This happened without any positive result from doping control in the team. There's definitely no doping in the Austrian team. It's crazy.”

“David thought people would be disgusted by him, ... but he was stopped on the streets of New York by people who said 'You have such courage for trying to stop this practice.' The positive feedback made him feel so good. He just blossomed because of this.”
