More Mo Farah - Andy Vernon drama - Farah tells Vernon to "F*** off" after Lausanne win

Didn't Vernon also have some kind of spat going with one of the UK's female runners not too long ago? Some kind of Twitter war

Yep, it was with Lynsey Sharp. He made a comment stating she was posting too much about winning a commonwealth silver medal and several other complaints and she fired back calling him Andy Vermin. In the end he made an apology tweet but it didn't change the fact that he still came off as a jerk.

I'm glad Mo did what he did. Andy Vermin is a perfect description.

Sounds like Andy should either run faster or shut up

I think mo should take some advice from Mary Cain and not take Twitter so seriously.

What does he need to prove to a second rate athlete like Vernon (who I've only heard of through letsrun)? Mo has 5 global golds!

If his temper is that bad, maybe lay off of the Alpha Male for a little while.

No shock here. Farrah acted like a 5 year old. Salazar athletes seem to be very good at that.

who is andy vernon ?

I'm just staggered. This site referring us to a story that makes Mo Farah - of NOP - look bad.

What a surprise!

On what I saw - Vernon started the whole thing anyway.

Ummm, fool, Farah created his own tweets where Farah shown his immense immaturity.

Lol who cares, Vernon sucks anyway.

1. Mo Farah 13:11.77

15. Andy Vernon 13:47.97

That's what happened. But if you want to turn to the nonsense, if you want to make up with someone, you don't do it in public, where you're acting to make yourself seem magnanimous. You do in privately, in the locker room after the race.

Men pacing women on the track isn't legal and it shouldn't be on the roads either. I guess you could argue that Paula's record is in the grey area.

Website is great, so props there.

Wow, Mo looked soooooooo emotionally drained. Obviously wouldn't have won Birmingham. (Sarcasm)

Vernon is the Rojo of British athletics - a jealous never-was with a big mouth. I can't stand Mo Farah and will never believe he's not a doper but Vernon is just pathetic.

Hey at least I started this website that you come every day to either post that a) Weldon was on drugs or b) I'm pathetic.

Well said rojo except you forgot to do what Mo did to Vermin ie tell him to F*** off.

PS If I was Mo I would have crippled Vermin with a kick in the nuts, told him to f*** off and then given him a hard time for not f***ing of quick enough.

Peace brother.

Serious question. Does this drama affect either of their chances at knighthood?

I'm amazed Seb Coe wasn't knighted yet.

The really compelling question here is why is Andy so slow?

Mo Farah proves the old adage "you are the company you keep." Hang with Salazar long enough you'll soon start behaving like him.

Except Vernon wasn't in the stands, like the QOTD says..

He ran in the race

Whether Vernon deserves to be told to go play with himself or not, if this is true I'm disappointed in Mo, he's old enough and experienced enough "as an athlete" to see the bigger picture, bite his tongue and at least try to be graceful, especially considering the NOP investigation.

Mo is acting like a spoilt brat. The reason why he didn't race the British Diamond League was because Vernon was in the field and there is now a clause in Mo's contract with british athletics saying that he will not run a UK based race if Vernon is in the same race.
