Jager revealed what he’s learned from the IAAF about why his name was on the document, he talked about his training, how he got his mind right to win Olympic silver, married life and being a homeowner. Plus, he says he had to stop reading forum posts about the hack because 50% of you were like “I know he’s been doping the whole time!”

  • Best Quotes: “Honestly my first thought (if I wasn’t on the list) would have been, oh yeah, like everyone on there is doping.”
  • “Naturally, I woke up and the like first thing that I did was I went to LetsRun just to figure out what exactly was going on.”
  • “Everyone was looking at me like they thought I was dirty at that point in time and it was a really shitty feeling.”
  • On Monaco: “I’m looking to get up to the front and go for the win.”
