Lough’s version:
Mr Lough, who was with Sir Mo at the time of the incident, said the athlete had been working out with training partner Abi Bashir when the incident took place.
He said: “I turn round and this guy comes over threateningly as if he’s going to attack Bashir and Mo tries to defend Bashir and hits the other guy.
“So, they’re grappling a little bit and the woman comes running and Mo turns round not knowing who it is and she got hit on the arm. She had two 5kg weights in her hands and was threatening to throw them at him. So I shout, ‘Put those things the f*** down or you’ll be in jail.’ Hotel security did nothing. She’s in the local police so she runs to them but we got the chief of the federal police involved. There were lengthy statements and police reports, and Haile’s just relying on hearsay as he wasn’t there.”
Mr Lough, the husband of former top British athlete Paula Radcliffe, said: “Haile’s been exposed for what he is and he’s fighting with low blows and lies. It’s mistruths and exaggerations.”
I think the Brojos just got out-scooped ... in real time!
Doesn't come across as a "minor" altercation to me.
