Reacting to Sir Chris Hoy's Times interview, Billy Watson, Chief Executive of SAMH (Scottish Action for Mental Health), said:

"As one of Scotland's greatest ever athletes and our Ambassador of fifteen years, Sir Chris is one of the most remarkable and inspiring people that I have the pleasure to know. But it is his simple decency, his love for his family, and his desire to create positive change for others that makes him who he is.

"Everyone at SAMH sends our love to Chris, Sarra, Callum and Chloe. His commitment to improving Scotland's mental health remains as strong as ever and we will stand with him and his family every step of the way."
