The front page claims that Mo has stuck it to his detractors by....entering a race?
By that standard, the man who has become by far the biggest joke in the history of elite marathoning, Ryan Hall, continues to amaze merely by pinning a number to his singlet. flapping along the course at unmanageably quick paces for short stretches, and quitting.
Sheesh.
SHEESH!!!

People have suggested he's dodging the competition.
He's not dodging the competition.

There is a difference between silencing one's critics, which is not in the person's control, and proving them wrong, which may be. Farah will never silence his critics because this is Letsrun, although it would probably help him if he wasn't running for someone who was indisputably dirty for his entire pro career.
Farah lost a lot of fans with his childish twitter exchange earlier this year, and the revelation that he voluntarily ran with dopers. The real Farah's was exposed: a hot-head, jealous of his peers.

I don't even remember the guy's name. Poodle barking at the big dog.
