Why did Mo lie?

The only reason every article says 'there is no evidence against Mo' is because of his legal team and UK law. The only thing he underestimated was public/press reaction to the programme. He's very badly managed on the face of it but you don't know what's going in behind the scenes. Ricky may well have told him not to come to the UK.

I think it's odd (or perhaps not, this being the internet) that so many people in this thread think themselves right about the answer, Mo's guilt or innocence, Alberto's guilt or innocence, Rupp's guilt or innocence. Many write with authority or certainty.

I am not sure one way or the other. I hope they're innocent. I fear they are not.

I have no authority or inside information. I do know that anyone can guess. Guessing correctly does not make you right. And of course, this being the internet, as I say, guessing wrong will hardly be remembered.

The issues with the NOP are old news. Bending, and flaunting, the WADA rules has been going on too long. Everyone wants to be like the NOP: try everything, don't test positive, win. To get the NOP and the copycats to stop the head of the beast needs to be chopped off.

Yeah, I know the difference. If you have an iPad then you'll understand why it got written that way automatically. Also, if you've been paying attention to my posts you'll also get that I don't make common, ignoramus mistakes like confusing your with you're or correcting people's spelling and grammar errors when they are clearly otherwise literate and are therefore probably just making a one-off typo, which is a written goof different from what the writer intended.

By the way, I've been to Provence. I don't have to look it up on Wikipedia.

It's a poor workman who blames his tools.

It's a little man who stoops to irrelevantly highlight a typographical error in an ocean of otherwise flawless prose and then follows it up with a pointless and shopworn cliche.

Go away, little person.

That brings up a whole other angle to this. Where are the managers and agents for Rupp, let alone Farah? Lets just say it is these situations where they earn their commission. Maybe their commission isn't big enough?

Ricky Simms will stay as far away as possible from this mess. The absolute last thing he wants is his other and largest money maker any where near this scandal. At least as far as I am aware Ricky Simms has always been perceived to run a clean business in both senses of the word. If I were Ricky Simms I would wait to see what unfolds and then if necessary distance himself completely if the allegations prove to be true. His number one client will be his priority.

What makes you think Ricky "Mr NOP" Simms runs a clean business? And even if he does, I still think it makes sense to press him for answers about this mess in light of how much money he makes from athletes who work with AlSal.

You do have a kingly aspect about you. Like King Cnut, only with dyslexia.

Lol. Cretin.
