Mo Farah in LondonMarathon 2014 training and Track-launch in Iten

Good. Not many testers up there. He'll be strong.

It seems like he's doing too much track stuff instead of endurance stuff.

Huh? From one of the articles that blog links to:

Mo Farah:

It's completely different to training for the track. It's much longer, it involves more miles and it involves longer work-outs. Before I used to reps of 400, 600 or 1,000 metres. Now a minimum that I'm doing in speed sessions is one-mile reps. Even my warm-up is four or five miles.

That article also says he's running 130 miles per week. Another says 130-140 per week.

What don't you understand about the fact that the British drugs testers will test Mo out of competition where ever he goes? The fact that the Kenyan drugs testing regime is poor has nothing to do with drugs testing for Mo as the Kenyans would not be testing him even if they had a top class testing program. The British drugs testing regime is one of the most comprehensive in the world. You have to inform them where you will be for 1 hour per day 5 days a week all year round. British drugs testers tested far more athletes than the USA last year with a far smaller population of athletes. I really think posters on lets run are deluded if they think Mo and Galen are taking banned substances. They may be taking thyroid hormones (not banned) or have tues which is morally questionable but all you losers are going to be very disappointed if you think there will be some bigs drugs scandal. There won't because whatever you think about thyroid hormone it is not on the banned list.

Hey, what you´re writing is facts. This is LetsRun. Here, we´re not interested in facts, but rather in misinformation, rumors and general shittalking.

Ask Chris Horner.

Give them 6am to 7am window, pop the drug microdose 7:01, it will be out of your system at 6am next morning.

Also, altitude is a great masking agent.

Mo will be plenty strong.

altitude + microdosing... it fools the passport easy

highly unlikely mo gets tested by UK ANTI-DOPING in kenya either!

If British drugs testers were to go to Kenya, Mo would know it at least a couple of weeks before they arrive. The hotel rooms and the safaris must be arranged you know.

What makes you say that?

No you have to tell them where you are going to be for one hour every day five days a week in advance even if you are abroad. Ask Tim don the former world triathlon champ who missed a test when training abroad and got banned. Of course Mo gets tested by British testers in Kenya

No what? Read again, gullible boy.

Just to put this to bed by giving you correct first hand information...

The IAAF testers in Kenya are a British couple. They test who the IAAF or other international federations ask them to test.

When UKA hold their training camp in Iten they frequently ask the IAAF testers to test their athletes. They usually arrive early in the AM when the athletes are sleeping - I don't know if this is when the athletes have stated on their whereabouts form or if it is a random unnannouced test.

Of course Mo is always on the list on those being tested.

Also (and this is not first hand anymore) I thought the UK sport anti doping procedures required athletes to give a 1 hour slot 7days of the week not 5??

Wrong.

"to make him/herself available for Testing at all times, whether In-Competition or Out-of Competition"

"when included in a Registered Testing Pool, to provide accurate and up-to-date whereabouts information for the purposes of testing"

Testing facilities for UK athletes are provided by GlaxoSmithKline who have a 24 x 7 "rapid testing lab".

Knowing drug companies they probably have another lab set up to evade positive drug tests.
