"Athletes have to speak out louder about the importance of clean sport. Cheaters cannot be allowed to shame those thousands of athletes who have been honest to the game."

I'm excited about being part of the WADA Athlete Committee, whose main objective is to keep sport clean. As a current professional athlete, sport provides many unique moments in life. Let us make sure these special moments can be achieved by talented, honourable and clean athletes who make a huge sacrifice to their sport and in turn offer inspiration to all as role models in society.

"Protecting clean athletes is an important aspect of anti-doping.We don’t want to take away their dreams and hopes and discourage them.Our work is a way of paying them back for their efforts."

The best athletes must stand united against doping. As role models for our youth and to show the true values of sports, we must show that doping is not allowed in any way or at any cause.

Always respect yourself and others. Forget about drugs, steroids, growth hormones and all that other rubbish. An athlete’s route to success is littered with sacrifice and there will be many highs and lows along the way.

I am inspired to fight doping in sport because I believe in fair play. Every sportsperson should be able to look across the start line or face her opponent before a match and have the peace of mind that nothing other than natural athletic abilities and mental focus separates her from any competitor.

The gold medal is the ultimate goal of every athlete. We need to fight for this medal in a fair way! It would be very frustrating to be beaten by a cheating athlete after years of hard training. It would destroy our dreams and undermine our courage. Also for unprofessional sports where money does not count, like korfball, one cannot imagine how important these values are.
