LRC 2015 Lausanne Men's Recap: Mo Farah Dominates & Nijel Amos (1:43.27) Takes Down David Rudisha
Running in his first race since the NOP doping investigation became public, Mo Farah celebrated his win as if he'd won a World title while Nijel Amos won a big battle in the men's 800 but limped off the track injured.
Nation:
In their only matchup before, Farah ran 3:28 for 1500.
BBC Sport:
"When you put key words or a syringe by somebody's name, it manipulates someone's mind to believe you intentionally tried to do something and get away with it," said Gay. "That wasn't the case. If I would have made a decision to intentionally do something to hurt the sport I wouldn't have come back."
"If Mo Farah had not already shelled out thousands for a PR firm, yesterday he’d have done well to hire one."
Andy Vernon: “Like in the armed forces, you salute the rank not the person sometimes. I wanted to congratulate the performance. Whether we’re friends or not, I can appreciate a good performance but I get that reaction.”
