American skiing star Bode Miller says he is not particularly interested in winning Olympic medals and would be happy to walk away from the sport.

"But then the fans and the media intervene and finish up by corrupting it with the pressure that they exercise.

"Anyone who isn't strong is left in a corner, no-one asks for their autograph, they are abandoned in the cold shadows. Those who win, however, become icons.

"From this inhuman pressure doping is born because the athlete feels the imperative of having to be number one. I believe instead that sport should be a private pressure, a challenge for yourself."

I like to see the sport getting so much general press coverage. It's good for skiing. Bode is good for skiing.
