"It's just when you are going 26 laps against the world's best you want to be at the top of your game," said Jordan, who added Farah was still recovering from the virus.

OK, so I hope Jordan was misquoted, because he surely knows that a 10,000m race is 25 laps...
But how is it that you "want to be at the top of your game," in racing Kenenisa Bekele, but it is OK if you are not at the "top of your game," if you are going 12.5 laps against Rupp, Lagat, Alamirew, Koech and Soi, to name just a few of the 5000m competitors Farah will be facing. Does Farah not respect the 5000m field, including his training partner, or is he afraid of Kenenisa, for some reason, or he doesn't want to give Kenenisa some psychological edge in advance of Moscow?
