#AskFarah on Twitter

Mr Mobot what about mom tweets:

Mr Mobot, you say you are close to your mom-- But you didn't invite her to your wedding and no one seems to know where in Africa she lives.

Mr Mobot, you say you are close to your mom: Part 2-- She had to walk 4 miles to a town with electricity to see you run the 2012 Olympics.

Mr Mobot, you say you are close to your mom: Part 3-- You should move her to Portland to help your wife raise your kids. Make mom happy :-)

This is beautiful.

There are some hilarious ones:

#AskFarah why do you need to go altitude training in Ethiopia, when park city is less than an hour away? Is it that you can't stand Tania?

#AskFarah What's your favourite Saved By The Bell episode? Mine is the one where they go "There's no hope with dope"

@SkySportsNewsHQ @Mo_Farah #AskFarah does a last lap board have to be shown to you during 5K & 10K races as you can't hear bells?

Does Mo think he's been unlucky so many of his coaches have been known dopers ? #askfarah @SkySportsNewsHQ

@SkySportsNewsHQ @Mo_Farah have you worked out the difference between Font Romeu and sabadell #AskFarah

Fantastic!

Did he actually answer any of these?

Whilst the doorbell gags are funny, the questions about Farah's Mother are strange.

Why does anyone care about Farah's relationship with his Mother. That is beyond tabloid.

Personal relationships are just that, and attempting to guess at them based upon one tiny scrap of information is quite silly.

Farah's Mother might not like Tania and may not have wanted to attend, perhaps because Tania is a Muslim.

Farah's Mother might not want to live in the UK, she did return to Africa after being here. Maybe she likes African life more than western life; that may be a concept beyond most Americans.

Perhaps Farah doesn't know exactly where in Africa she is right now (Djibouti or Somalia supposedly) or maybe he doesn't want to say it publicly for fear of her safety (ransom, anyone?)

Perhaps Farah's mum is a bit of a bitch and he just doesn't want to say it in public.

Really stupid topic of conversation anyway.

Sky Sports was looking for questions to ask Mo. Looks like they have none and will fall back to "How did it feel...." Mo's doorbell questions are pretty funny.

There are maybe one or two posts that aren't doping related. What a well-run sport.

Not strange at all. Farah is estranged from his entire family. Yet he insists he is still close to his mom and brother. There is a pattern to how he claims a clean and happy life that in reality does not exist. So, whatever he says about doorbells is also open to question.

That is quite a conclusion to jump to; Farah isn't as close to his mum as he says therefore he is doping.

Longest shot I've seen around here for a while...

Besides, where and when has Farah said they are close?

Not strange at all.

The link about Farah still being close to his mom is in a recent thread, and it looks like most of the comments supporting Farah are yours. No need to provide you with a link.

Farah had dug his own grave the way he has acted. It seems he has been the same questionable (truth stretcher) person his entire life.

Ok found the link. http://m.gulfnews.com/sport/olympics/track-field/for-mo-farah-there-s-no-cutting-corners-1.1872280I am genuinely astounded at the extrapolation people on this board have performed with tiny snippets of information.

Hassan still lives in Somalia, so the brothers see each other rarely but speak often. Farah is still close to his mother, Amran, who is in Somalia.

“She won’t watch me on television,” he says, laughing. “She’s so proud, but she doesn’t quite understand why I put myself through it.

“She thinks I’m killing myself every time. When I’m on the floor after a race, she’s tearful and worried about me. And I get the whole, ‘Oh my God, you’re too skinny!’ stuff.”

Ok so the reporter has inferred that Farah is close to his mother because they seem to talk on the phone and she gets worried for his health. Ok that's great.

How is this evidence of doping again?

There are multiple reasons his mum didn't attend Farah's wedding. A few might be: she didn't agree with the match, she was sick, too old to travel that far. Also someone on another thread also mentioned that Farah's mother's name and whereabouts are not mentioned...

Once more I am perplexed as to why anyone cares about this. This conversation is really scraping the barrel for a scandal. I'd put good money on these questions about Farah's Mother on Twitter being solely asked by bitter Letsrun users.

Your excuses for his personal life are as idiotic as the questions.

Excuses? Where?

I don't care who exactly we happen to be talking about. I just find this level of conspiracy and stupidity very difficult to ignore. There are extremely simple, many times more probable situations than the ones proposed by morons on this site.

Please read:

A reporter says Farah is close to his mother but according to an anonymous poster she didn't attend his wedding so therefore he is doping.

That is the statement people are calling ME stupid for refuting as idiotic!

Are you guys actually serious?!?!

Your explanations (defense of..?) for someone else's private life as given on an anonymous running message board as if you have some duty to set the record straight about Mo Farah***

It's a joke thread.

He is most certainly a Mo Farah public relations bot.

Who's a bigger shill: You or Hillary?

You said that you were an engineer but it sounds like you work for Freud or some other PR firm.
