No one can accuse this sad story of not accelerating rapidly by the day.

Why don't they just hack into Mo and Alberto's email system and pull all emails between them and Rupp, etc., to see if there was any discussion of doping? Can't hide it for 5 years in communication.
"Farah contested it by appealing to the UK Anti-Doping Agency on the basis that he claimed he did not hear his doorbell"
LOL ... Mo didn't hear what he didn't want to hear. He probably hide under the dirty clothes hamper.

Discussions are reportedly underway with operatives within the St. Louis Cardinals organization to get this ball rolling.
Oh s@$!
Knew it was only a matter of time before Farah would get dragged into this mess. Now I'm anxiously awaiting the NOP apologists to come on here and defend this one, which they undoubtedly will attempt to do.
The logical explanation is the Mo was wearing headphones and playing music at volume level 11. The headphones were a gift from Alberto which explains why the missed tests occurred only after Mo joined the NOP.
True Story.
Maybe someone jammed up Mo's doorbell with toothpaste or testosterone cream, rendering it non-operational. You have to admit that such a thing is at least POSSIBLE, right?
Wow.
I really don't think Alberto survives this. At a certain point Nike is going to cut ties, "proof" or not. At that point, he might have to reconsider the wisdom of being such a huge prick to so many people in the running community for so many years.
he's allowed to miss 2 tests without any sanctions, the whole article is pointless stirring up of nonsense , he will have had many tests inbetween and before or after the missed one, if he had missed three he would hsve fsced a ban like ohurugu did in 2006
BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT CHAMPIONS DO

Farah didn't missed any tests before joining Salazar. The excuse give --doorbell? what?-- is lame.

This should be the NOP's new slogan: THE MAXIMUM AMOUNT OF WRONGDOING THAT IS TECHNICALLY PERMISSIBLE!
many uk athletes will have missed one or two tests, which is why the three test rule is in place, uk athletes have a far more strict testing regime than 99% of the other countries in the world and there will have been many tests in between the missed tests - total non story from the tabloid trash daily mail
I'm firmly on the "get these guys out of our sport" team, and I don't make much of this story.
Hoping tonight/tomorrow's release/s is/are more exciting.
Get real. This is part of how the cheating game is played. If they catch you right after you took your steroids, you just don't answer the door. If they come at an "inopportune" time twice, then you have to be more careful.

So are you saying it's not relevant to what's currently going on and it shouldn't be made public because you consider the newspaper tabloid trash?
Can someone explain the rules here?
From the article:
"which forces athletes to pick an exact location for one hour every day in case they are needed for testing."
Really!? What if something more important comes up and you can't be there?
Also, the tabloid trash newspaper gave them to opportunity to respond before publishing:
"These are among the questions we asked Mo Farah and his agent Ricky Sims. They did not respond.
1 Can you give the exact date and circumstances of the first test and explain why you missed it?
2 And the same for the second missed test...
3 As you will be aware, missing a third test would have meant you were banned from athletics. How did you react to this prospect in the year before London 2012?
4 Have you missed any further tests?
5 We are aware that you challenged UK Anti-Doping over the fairness of the second test. Can you explain why?
6 Are you satisfied with the responses you have received from Alberto Salazar in respect of the doping allegations to the point where you are happy to continue being coached by him?
7 Have you contacted the former Nike Oregon Project runners who have given evidence to the US Anti-Doping Agency?
8 Do you respect the WADA code and adhere to their regulations in pursuit of drug-free sport?"
robo2 is saying NOP is pure as the driven snow. Except robo2 forgot to stay the snow was where the huskies go peepee.
