Considering the circumstantial evidence, I'm surprised the British press have shown such restraint with Farah. I'm pretty sure a dedicated freelancer could shed a lot of light on his career, for better or worse. Unfortunately, I believe the name change is a cynical ploy to add a religious layer of protection if incriminating news surfaces, considering the political situation in the UK.

Come on, Farah isn't that smart.
He's just sick of the doping allegations. If he's clean, this shit has been dogging him for years and years and years. Even if he's dirty, it's still extremely boring to listen to. He won't actually change his name to anything he was just upset. Mohammed Farah is just a way of saying he wants a low profile.
Likely all the elites are dirty, and they all know it, but Farah is the one that every time he wins or runs a race or talks to the media, the only headlines and questions are about doping.
Do they ask the various African runners or American/Jamaican sprinters about doping? Not really, no.
Amos is said to have deliberately dodged doping tests he was given prior warning about. Not a peep from mainstream media.
Various runners appear on the scene then disappear just as quickly, no suspicions at all from anyone.
Multiple stories about Kenyan and Ethiopian runners using dope, none get questions about the state of their countries when they win the marathon or anything else.
Ayana and Obiri are doing things that are truly unbelievable, especially Ayana, nothing said by anyone.
Centro trains with the same coach in the same set up as Farah doing the trips to altitude and everything, no questions for him about doping in the media after Rio.
It's a real witch hunt that is entirely akin to Gatlin being the only doper booed at the champs, except Farah gets treated equally as terribly by the media and has never been caught of anything.

Perhaps if Centro had won the 800 / 1500 double in every major championship since 2011 he would have got some more scrutiny.

Why on earth does he, and everyone else, want him to hit the roads?
He should run a season of pure, even-paced 1500s. His 1500 best is way above his marathon best.
"Because that's what champions do!"

So what if he's doping.
Surely he should be forgiven like Gatlin and anyone booing him criticised.
I agree. Let him serve a four year suspension and all will be forgiven.

Good analogy. Centro doing this at age 28 through 34, after training as a full time pro previously for the 8 years prior and "only" running about 3:34.

Mo haters were right all the way.
Mo will be accepting Soros bucks very soon to help push the pro-Islamist/pro-globalist agenda. So brave. As if I needed a reason to hate him and his fat family any more.
It is called Nike.

That's faster than a lot of seriously good milers... and he showed nothing of that ability in his younger years.
I don't know what you mean by "showed nothing of that ability in his younger years." After winning the British school cross country championships repeatedly, he ran a 13:09 5000m in 2006, nearly 12 years ago when he was 22, and a 7:34 3000m shortly after. All that changed in his championship years was development of a phenomenal kick. As far as I know, doping doesn't target finishing and pacing skills.

Yes, 13.09 and 7.34 are impressive and in line with where he was at the time - a European champion and world finalist.
Several young men run these times every year.
What they don't then do is pop a 3.28 aged 30, lopping 5 seconds off their PB. If you don't recognise this as bizarre I can't help you.
His name is MOHAMMED that is it for all of you. You all need to be fired from your jobs! You should all be dragged from your offices. You are Xenophobes, Homiphobes and Raciologists! Of course, I agree with all of you. You don't think Mo and some liberal progressives will have me fired for saying that I agree ...do you?

What they don't do is move to the US, join Nike and train with Salazar and his team of Olympic medalists following an optimal running regimen that admittedly pushes the envelope on supplements, altitude tents, and other props.
Sure, 3:28 was a bizarre outlier, but Farah is an amazing ten time world champion--a bizarre outlier like Bekele, Ghebreselasie, El Gherrouj and Coe, world beaters who are statistically bizarre. What else is new?
Anyway, by the 3:28, Farah had run nearly equivalent races at 5K and 10K, marked by off-the-charts finishes, and had not earlier plunged into the undertow of a rabbited Diamond League 1500.
For another example of a big PR, try Frerich.
not a happy Mohamad
Frerich is 24, not 30, and has a coach not associated with shady practices, much less a thinly concealed relationship with one of the dirtiest characters ever to cast his reptilian shadow over the sport (Aden). Keep Courtney out of this discussion. Lance Armstrong, post-cancer is far more appropriate.

Bekele, Geb, El G, Coe - with the exception of El G (who, of course, holds the WR) none of these runners have run 3:28 and none of them have pulled of multiple double wins at either the WC or Oly let alone winning double gold at both. Mo's prs at 5 and 10k aren't at all consistent with a 3:28. Daniel K. was a full second off Farah's 1500 pr.
Why is Farah so hated? Someone fill me in I thought everyone loved him
I just don't get Mo or Mohammed or whatever he wants to call himself these days. The silly "I've never failed a drug test" retort has been proven to be wrong time and time again by numerous athletes. Not failing a doping test is not the same as not doping.
If Farah was / is truly a clean athlete then why does he choose to surround himself with so many characters who are of dubious character?
I have little doubt that doping is widespread across all Olympic sports and other 'professional' sports too. Where there is money and glory people will always look to leverage whatever advantage they can. I also believe that some names within sport are too large to fail. With all the recent issues relating doping, IAAF corruption and state sponsored programmes, I can only imagine what would happen if Farah, Bolt or any of the rising stars were found to be doping. The fanboys would be in a state of shock, meeting sponsors would look for a way out and the finances would suffer greatly.
One thing is for certain, Russia isn't the only country with a doping problem.
Islamaphobia and Donald Trump. I personally confirmed this.
