Nothing to see here.... Farah's training partner caught buying EPO

I see how some people could look at this and become suspicious that Sir Mo could also be using EPO. But who really cares if his training partner is using it. Maybe his training partner uses it so he can be in tip top shape to push Mo during workouts. Mo is one of the best runners in the world, in order to help him through those workouts, Mo would need other world class athletes.

Maybe what this training partner did was see an opportunity to make money by helping Mo out in practice. So he took EPO to get him to the level that he could be beneficial to Mo, and therefore make some money. I am sure if the training partner did not take EPO, then someone else would have and he was out of a job.

Interesting finding here!

The Kenyan who the German TV station ARD caught undercover buying EPO was a regular training partner, pacer, and friend of Mo Farah. There is video and interview evidence of Mo training with him and talking about how great a training partner he is.

More interesting, the doctor that this kenyan bought EPO from claimed to have supplied EPO to 3 British athletes

Hmmmm

I think if it was a one-off you'd be right. But it's his training partner, who got EPO from a doctor who supplied it to British athletes. Plus, he's now got associations with a training partner who was on EPO, a coach who had athletes on EPO (Aden), and a coach under investigation (Salazar).

That's a lot of shady company to keep.

Unfortunate associations. That's associations plural.

On one level I will agree that we should not convict one person for the actions of others around him.

On a realistic level, if you are an athlete these days you cannot have a person who is using PEDs in your circle. You need to distance yourself from them.

Maybe he makes even more money as Mo Farah's drug mule?

Mo very strong mind. EPO not work on Mo. EPO only work on weak pacer.

Correct. Poor Mo. Just like Uncle Jama, it's all just a coincidence!

Moto-man for Mo?

Right. And Marion Jones was just really unlucky in love...

NOBODY in track history has had so many circumstantial red flags without an actual bust. #MoCorruption

Umm... ever heard of Bolt?

Bolt's red flags are his times. Of course he was doped, but times are just one red flag to me. Bolt didn't wait until age 27 to suddenly become a champion, get coached by Salazar, train with Jama, miss doorbells, etc, etc, etc.

Yeah right. None of Bolt's team mates were caught. Right?

Of course that Mo is doper, as well as all Kenyans and Ethiopians so doper against dopers!

Who cares, if you are better then him beat him like you did in the last 7-8 years.

Show your supremacy, dopers, beat him.

He didn't set any world record so what, he is a doper and your dopers can't beat him - that make him better.

Bekele, Geb, ElG etc were not dopers but clean athletes capable of breaking world records at will?

Is this a joke?

Bolt - clean?

Is this even bigger joke?

Until 2005 no Jamaican have ever fastest time in a year but all of sudden from 2005 only Jamaicans - they found a way how to run finally? Surprisingly all of them get busted except Bolt.

Last 3 years no more Jamaicans with fastest time - no new generation of superhumans? Training "methods" not good anymore?

If Mo is dirty Bolt is dirty too.

Betting that U.K. Athletics is already all over the doctor that treated the 3 brits. Don't release the name, and we won't prosecute you. It will get buried...just like Aden...TOTAL CORRUPTION.

This is essentially right, but the doctor is - I think - Kenyan. So, I think that what's more likely is that Nike is leaning on Kenya to lean on the doctor. And IAAF, which is currently run by Brits, has let it be known that, no matter what is said by whom they will never seriously investigate Mo.

Which he conveniently "forgets" like Coe and Radcliffe. He'll be running the iaaf like Diack did in no time!!
