It is an advantage to train on soft surfaces/tracks: gravel, packed dirt, golf-course grass (especially for track w.o. when it is an accurate 400m shape).
The more all-weather synthetic tracks I see popping up in east africa, the worse off these athletes are going to be over the long run.
I don't understand why a soft synthetic surface is bad. Please enlighten me.
Duh
It seems that Aden has been coaching Farah more than Salazar has the last few years. Does Salazar even coach Farah any more? (I mean coaching in the sense of personally supervising workouts, etc - not the occasional email with some general advice)
Such details make a difference. It would sound much worse in the British press if the story read "Farah's coach busted on doping charges".
Of course, knowing the press, they'd be like, "Mo, how disappointed are you to find out that some of the athletes you trained with were doping, and that Coach Aden was aware of it and even facilitated it?"
And Mo would say, "well, I'm gutted, quite frankly. I can't believe that with all the trust I put in them, they let me down - especially when I was frequently Tweeting helpful aphorisms about training really hard to achieve your dreams. (I work REALLY hard, btw)".
If you put your trust in one coach and he "let's you down" that's one thing. If another coach "let's you down" then it's a pattern. (e.g... you're in on it :) )
The common denominator here is Farah. Tough day for tony, I'm sure. Tough to swallow that first jagged pill of reality sometimes.

Tony's probably on suicide watch. Anyone seen the apologist around here today?
Mo Farah has never tested + 4 drugs nor has he been convicted of doping
Hate the dude but be sensible about it

Do you believe everyone who has that resume is clean?
Yes till proven otherwise
Show me evidence of doping , show me convictions
"Oh hes too good , she is too fast " is not enough

Lance never tested positive either.
I suppose we'll learn more soon. Hopefully Mo comes clean and turns himself in for testing. Be the bigger man you know. Clear his name. Just a quick jaunt over the hills to the IAAF field base. Roll up his sleeve and put the haters to rest. 💉💪ðŸ¼

You meds are not working as expected. You should be sleeping when doped to the gills. Make some adjustments. Mo can help you, he knows all of the secrets from AlSal.

g'd'it, Lance Armstrong DID TEST POSITIVE! SEVERAL TIMES!!!!!!!!
THE CYCLING WIENIES LET HIM OFF THE HOOK.
I really wish people would get this straight. It's an important point. And testing is much better now.
http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2013-04-17/armstrong-tested-positive-for-steroids-four-times-in-1999-tourLance Armstrong tested positive for steroids four times during his first Tour de France win, although he wasn’t suspended because the levels were consistent with his alibi of using a cream to treat saddle sores, cycling’s governing body said.
The banned cyclist, who in a January interview admitted using performance-enhancing drugs, has been stripped of his seven Tour de France titles and a 2000 Summer Olympics bronze medal.
The Union Cycliste Internationale said the American was tested 15 times during the 1999 Tour, and trace amounts of steroids were found in four urine samples. Because he didn’t test positive on some days in between, it lent weight to his excuse of using a cream for a skin problem, the UCI said today in an e-mailed statement.
(are Jama Aden people clean)

Track is a sport and a business, not a courtroom. Whether an athlete is clean is for the paying fan to judge. The burden of proof is on the vendor that the product is legit, if the customer isn't sure, no sale. Association with Jama is gonna hurt Mo's reputation with fans, like it or not.
He's still pretty good though, as I've always said. Definitely among the pretty good runners of history.

No, it's not.
Your example doesn't even make sense. A customer not making a purchase doesn't mean a product is proved to be faulty.
You mad brah? Looks like the British champ Mo Farah about to get outed as a drug cheat.
Lesson learned from that for M wrote:

I mean, not really.
Farah being implicated from this is a long, long shot.
I wouldn't be that bothered if he got caught anyway. Just find it hilarious how Letsrun and the Daily Mail have tried to turn this much bigger story about how Aden has seemingly been doping the women's 5k WR holder, the 1500m WR holder and a bunch of other top tier athletes into the far feebler story, "Mildly associated Farah may be dirty too".
