Mo Farah admits lying about links with arrested coach Jama Aden

This is just about the dumbest post in this thread. UK Sport was coming out of 2012 with a huge haul of medals regardless of Mo Farah. Cycling and rowing would provide enough to justify the spending. Athletics was always going to be a weakness into that Olympics and the hopes were always on Jess Ennis which is why she dominated the branding for UKA and the Olympics running into 2012. This isn't to defend Farah or UKA who both have questions to answer but the conspiracy theory nonsense doesn't help anything or anyone.

Ooc testing was non existent in Kenya, when it started we saw what happened

Still non existent in Ethiopia where Farah moved

Crappy OOC testing isn't just an East African problem. Scott Fauble said he's not even in the testing pool for USADA so he hasn't had OOC testing. Let that sink in: the second fastest US marathoner in 2019 isn't in the testing pool. USADA is a joke.

Did anyone think that Mo didn't know Jama who was so instrumental in Abdi's world championship 1500m titlein 1987. Abdi was a national hero and is still Somalia's greatest athletes. There were photos of Jama and Mo back when Jama was coaching Driouch the young middle distance star who ran around 2:18 as a 17 year old in around 2011.

When Salazar was starting off as a coach didn't he have John Cook out there as well. Oh yes and who else went to George Mason.....Steve Magness. A lot of of commonalities for sure. Not implying that Steve knew anything as he went there after Cook but small world for sure.

El keniano is right

UKAd , lord coe , Nike , UKA are all part of a conspiracy

The amount of weirdo losers on this particular thread is impressive, even for this site. Bravo.

The 'systematic doping regime in and around London 2012' post was a particular highlight. Lmao.

Well British cycling is also very suspect! How can one small country dominate cycling, road and track?

It's idiots like you that are justification for genocide.

When is the big news focused on Rupp and L-C injections coming out?

All cycling, everywhere, is more than suspect.... Lance and Floyd gave us plenty, but since cycling was the sport that delivered the first in-competition PED-induced death, in 1967, it can never be trusted.

Have you not heard of Weetabix??

They powered Paula to stardom and are the fuel that keeps those cycling golds rolling in...

This article and Mo’s blatant lies are the final nail in the coffin for me. I had hoped I was wrong but now 100% convinced he is dirty. I know that L-C is not illegal in these doses but the cover up at hand, those involved and the very obvious conclusion that it was not in the spirit of the event (especially at such close proximity to LM) shows that this is probably the thin edge of the wedge. What a shame and a shambolic let down of the fans.

I'm sure it can only be a matter of days before Mo comes out with a claim that he is being racially discriminated against by such allegations. That no-one else, other than him or people from his background, would have had such programmes made about them or their training. He has form for making such claims, he regularly experiences issues regarding his behaviour in airports and blames discrimination.

There has always been something a bit strange about how UKA treats Mo compared to most other British athletes. He seems to have held some influence over selection of athletes in the past - remember when Andy Vernon wasn't selected for the Worlds, despite running the qualifying time, in the midst of a spat with Mo? (UKA required the qualifying time in distance track events to be run TWICE that year).

The newspapers over here are regularly saturated with glowing press reports about Mo, in the way that other athletes, particularly white athletes, don't receive nearly such good publicity.

Some of the Americans here are truly an embarrassment. I understand one or two appear to be actually insane ('BannedIGot/Mindweak' for example), but it's almost like the American people had to choose between high IQ and good teeth, and chose the latter.

I get that Mo Farah was sleazy Sal's star athlete, but let's be honest here. At every turn, ethical reservations were expressed regarding Farah's 'L-Carnitine' injections by British team doctors.

It took a BBC investigation to even expose Salazar, back in 2015.

Almost immediately there was a freaking parliamentary inquiry into Mo and UK athletics links with Al Sal.

Despite that, it appears top American athletes had no scruples about joining NOP right up to almost the last moment, whereas due to pressure from the British media and British athletics, Mo Farah was forced to severe his links long ago.

A couple of years ago, Laura Muir announced on Twitter that she was going to employ a new American physiotherapist. Then it was pointed out that he was linked to NOP, the (British) media went crazy and Laura had to back track and cancel the appointment almost immediately.

So to be clear -

In 2017 the best British middle-distance runner was forced by the strength of anti-doping feelings in GB and British athletics to cancel plans to hire a physiotherapist linked to NOP.

In 2017 the best American middle-distance runner chooses to join NOP, almost immediately has his career transformed and is turned into a record breaking world champion who the Brojos and LetsRun gloat might break Rudisha's WR this year.

It's not yet known if Al Sal body shamed Donovan. But we know he almost certainly fed Mo with more EPO in the average carnitine injection than in the whole of East Africa.

And of course, what all this means is that it's GB, with our crazy teeth and thinly repressed desire to re-establish our evil empire, who are the doping hotspot of the world. Unlike Americans who do it clean - just like their teeth!

You guys even keep bringing cycling into it - the country of Lance Armstrong, the most infamous doper in history and a living science experiment - because of one suspect thyroid medication package supplied by a Sky team doctor.

False. Brazier joined NOP in October of 2018. Despite being late to pick up the sport and having a very low mileage background, he was already a record-breaker and US champion at only 21.

You have no credibility.

Anyone who believes anyone at the top is clean is naive. .A clean runner will not beat doped runners. Too many with talent to do that.

+1

So why are obvious dopers like Mo, or Big Mac, or Ramzi etc? Do they just dope a little more than the others? And why does anti-doping seem pretty good at catching obvious dopers, as well as American sprinters and Russian middle-distance women?

You have a point I guess. Either everybody dopes, or a minority does. If it was 50/50 then yes, given that we know EPO alone makes a huge difference, then it's hard to see how any of the 50% clean could beat the best of the 50% dopers. Unless of course doping is massively over-represented in certain countries such as Kenya, Ethiopia and Morocco, who are actually relying on doping to beat clean athletes in other countries.

After all that, Sir Mohammed still finished in 8th place only and 4 minutes behind the winner.

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

I dont want to hear any fucking rubbish about Mo Farah and also Salazar , the things they did and take is still nothing compared to what Kenyans and Ethiopians do. This is really disgusting we have everymonth people that break world record up and down very easy from 5k to marathon and do sub 2hours like nothing and still I got to hear if Mo Farah had injection of L carnitine. I beg you dont have work , find yourself a job
