When you climb a little higher than they want them cut off your head, and then doesn’t want to participate because I'm too famous. But this is their problem."

I've got four or five sports and I think it was an equivalent two million euros. With the budget they have is an absurdity. Even the players themselves, if they take something, you can pay themselves."
