He spoke out on the Russian doping scandal over the weekend. He said the Whereabouts system is a pain in the butt to update and is now worried it will only get worse.

"I think things like whereabouts are going to become even stricter now, and that could become a real burden for a lot of athletes," he said. "It would be better if they made us all wear GPS tracking devices."
