Farah saying he was in France but posting a picture of Sabadell Spain

Perhaps the point of this was to go down down to sea level for a workout or some specified amount of time, while maintaining that his training camp is based at altitude in France, as some Americans do while staying at altitude in Flagstaff, etc.

More likely is that Aden's group would go to the altitude track for training. The closest good track at altitude is where Farah is.

Wejo, I have a hard time believing it was a mistake. Ricky Simms wrote that Mo has never trained in Sabadell before so it is a clear cover up if you think about it.

Maybe he was lying about his whereabouts to evade drug testers. Maybe he told them he would be in France for x amount of time and went to Spain for a quick EPO shot or two.

What tweet are we talking about here? Or Instagram? Can you screen shot it?

The picture is from 2014. Who even says Farah was in Spain with Jama Aden in 2014? Many athletes go and use that track.

Who is to say that Farah is in sole control of his Twitter account? Why would Ricky Simms want to admit anything to you when he feels (rightly) that you are trying to build some kind of case against his athlete?

I've said before, Farah may well be dirty. But this picture of Farah at a track in Spain, in 2014, means little. Far less than his doorbell not working.

Aden supports Arsenal, Farah supports Arsenal, I support Arsenal, coincidence? Most likely

By virtue of it being his name and password, he is responsible for the content and no one else.

This is the track in Font Romeu. Top photo with Farah in a red jacket. This is from a twitter in 2015.

Here is an aerial of the track in Font Romeu. Note the building in the background match the top photo--stepped white white roof--, and the long jump pit.

!3m1!1e3!4m5!3m4!1s0x12a56237be747b9f:0x8ed9378e8277dd35!8m2!3d42.5182933!4d2.0322172

Now, the 2014 Font Romeu twitter pick is a completely different track. Not the same.

Here is an aerial of the Sabadell track. Note the shape of the grass area in the center of the track. It is completely square. Has a rail outside the curves.

!3m1!1e3!4m5!3m4!1s0x12a494fd00277675:0x3691e3615821df42!8m2!3d41.5462745!4d2.1086131

Now here is Mo on the track above in 2014.

Mo's caption is "In Font Romeu... Trainings going good!!" Well, Mo in on the Sabadell track.

Sorry about the broken links. I can't fix them. You'll have to copy and past the full thing and use the "Earth" option (instead of "Maps").

We now know that big chunks of Kenyan athletes (inept federation) and Ethiopian athletes (inept federation + Jama's group) are doping.

Mo Farah goes from being a B-level elite to BEATING all the runners from countries with terrible doping protocols.

He now has association with two coaches in hot water—Jama, who is assuredly doping his athletes, and Salazar, who admitted to testosterone-creaming his sons to test the tolerances of drug tests and at the very least plays games with TUEs.

Guys, don't make it harder than it is.

I see, right. So because Twitter's terms of use say that only Farah must use his Twitter account, then we must take all posts to be Farah's gospel only.

Extremely weak evidence.

I have no doubt Farah is in Sabadell in that picture. What does it mean? Nothing.

If the picture was taken just before Aden got busted, then I would grant you that it is dodgy for Farah to be there. But it wasn't.

The silent doorbell is far, far more damning evidence than this charade.

Let me remind everyone or something, like a few posters have tried to do, the current female 5000m, 1500m WR holders were actually WITH Aden when the bust happened. Surely we should be speculating about what happens to them? And the others like 1000m indoor WR holder Souleiman and 500m WR holder Haroun?

These athletes are officially in Aden's inner circle and many are recent medallists at major championships! Genzebe dominates female middle distance running like nobody else! This is HUGE news. I cannot understand the naïvety of Letsrun to overlook this far, far bigger news.

What happens if Dibaba's tests come out negative, for example? Will she be in Rio? Who is favourite for the 1500m if she is not?

Weak? Farah clearly stated in his twitter he was in France when he was in Spain. He could he not know where he is? Why state something that isn't true?

Sorry, I should have been clearer.

Weak evidence of doping.

I think the guy is very dodgy, but I can see how he could be training at Font Romeu and drive down to Barcelona (Sabadell) for the day to do a workout at lower altitude and be back in the mountains that evening. Just like athletes who train up in Flagstaff but drive down to Camp Verde for a few hours to do a track workout. To all intents and purposes they are training in Flagstaff, just as Mo could say he was in Font Romeu, rather than in Portland or wherever. There are a lot more damning pieces of evidence. This twitter picture though is a non-starter.

The starter is Farah is supposed to know where he is and report his location for potential drug tests. You can't say your in France when you are somewhere else. Got it?

There's a new picture clearly that Mo was in Sabadell for at least 2 days. Twitter of @coachnewport has the quote tweet...and they tweeted at the letsrun account

A picture of him there in 2016?

If there is one of him with Aden's group from this month, in Spain, that would leave him some questions to answer.

No it's from 2014. Him with some local kids at the track.

Before 5 am on a very sunny day? That is Mo's posting time; probably UK time zone. The time of the real pic is?????
