Oh, theyve gone down, theyve all gone down i cant believe it christies been penalised again. Its been tough. I cant even describe how hard it was. I suffered a lot after it, in my normal life too.

The 10c banned three more russian athletes for doping. Weve been stolen our moment, basically. I feel like we fought so hard, knowing we were good enough to get on the podium. Its hard to take. As were seeing across all sports in the world right now, this is happening all too frequently. Its a really sad state. My life would have been different, you know. It would have been a massive family achievement, more than anything. Theres no escaping that, it would have been different. The funding would have been much higher.
