    โ€œBecause you have got a lot riding on whether or not you win those gold and silver medals.

    โ€œIf these results are overturned from Tokyo, the US would be eligible for gold medals and Australia would be eligible for silver medals.

    โ€œYou expect if you are going to the Olympics and you are competing fairly that you will be competing on a fair-level playing field with other people and even the World Anti-Doping authority swept it under the car.โ€
