(SOUNDBITE) (English) GOLD MEDALIST MICHAEL JOHNSON, SAYING: “I think what you’ve seen is obviously a situation, you know, more so than looking at sort of whether or not athletes should or should not be taking part, whether or not athletes should be pointing the finger at other athletes. We’ve got a situation here, obviously that, you know, needs a resolution and my hope is that, all of this activity, the Russian athletes being booed, nobody wants athletes to be booed at the Olympic Games, that’s not what this is about. But the simple answer to that is not to tell people to stop booing the athletes, the answer to that is to figure out how to keep athletes who have been doping out of the Olympics and out of the sport and handing down appropriate punishment then people won’t be booing athletes who are here that they feel like shouldn’t be here. “Athletes won’t be pointing their finger and getting into these spats with other athletes because they feel like that athlete should be there. That’s on the IOC, this is their event, it’s on the IOC to figure out how do we reform the situation and how do we solve this going forward and that’s not going to happen overnight but I would certainly hope that all of these things that we’re talking about here today as opposed to be talking about how amazing that event was last night and how, you know, we’re looking forward to, you know, seeing Usain Bolt, and you know, we’re not talking about that, we’re talking about doping, we’re talking about athlete’s spats, we’re talking about booing so I would hope that what we see coming out of this is some real reform and some real attention to the problem and some real solutions.” // (SOUNDBITE) (English) GOLD MEDALIST JANET EVANS, SAYING “Well clearly it’s been the main topic of many conversations here at the Games. You know I was at the IOC session with President Bach and the executive board listening and learning there and fully support the IOC’s decision to you know to help change the system, to figure this out once the Games are over, to work with WADA to implement new procedures. You know it’s a global problem, it’s a global problem in sport and it’s something that needs to be addressed further and you know I think Lily King is amazing, she got out there last night and did what she said she was going to do and I’m proud of her and I think once these Games are over, we do what the IOC says and work on this and make it better.”// “Well it breaks my heart a little bit, you know but I think it’s, you know, not necessarily when I was in swimming, but it happens in big arena sports like football, right? So that’s how I felt last night, we’re at a football match, you know, so it’s also the crowd getting into it and expressing themselves so yeah.” // (SOUNDBITE) (English) GOLD MEDALIST NADIA COMANECI, SAYING: “I think it’s a continuous fight to keep the athletes clean and I think the IOC and the federations are the ones to be in charge of that. You know I came from a sport that we didn’t have too much to do with this. In my time I was very new to this because I was 14 in the 70s so I had to learn what that means. But I didn’t think that the booing was really nice you know because everybody’s a human being at the end and I think you should respect them.”
