As much as I want to believe that Mo Farah has not engaged in the use of performance enhancing drugs, I am disturbed by a lie he told the press, one that has been largely glossed over.
When he gave his recent press conference, he said he had heard about the allegations against Alberto Salazar 'three or four days ago.'
The truth of the matter is he heard about the allegations three or four WEEKS ago, in an email from the BBC. He took a full two weeks to reply to the email, probably after sending it through a Lawyer Machine for scrutiny.
So the question: why did he lie?
