'but what happened to innocent until proven guilty?'
Guilty dopers are not sent to prison. That's where that phrase comes from under English law
What happened is Lance and a thousand other dopers many of those were seemingly legit

I really don't understand what the point people who complain about Farah's tax situation are really trying to make.
Mo Farah and all of Mo Farah's family live in the US. The whole family lives in Oregon. That documentary about him said he trains and competes away from home for 4-6 months of the year and spends the rest in Oregon. His family uses the services of the state of Oregon. So he damn well should pay tax there. And does.
He does not live or spend any significant time in the UK. Why should he pay tax to a country he doesn't live in? It just doesnt make sense.
I also despise the mobot...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SqL9jhFXglI
Watch this race about 50 times OP...It never gets old...

You are incapable of critical thinking. Farah hopes to be knighted--Sir Farah. He doesn't support the UK living there and paying taxes. A non-tax-payer of the UK cannot become a Sir.

Part of critical thinking involves staying on the topic.
The other poster incorrectly states that Farah's family sponges off the UK system and he doesn't pay tax there. That is completely incorrect. He pays Oregon tax, a lot more than the value of services he uses (he makes millions of dollars a year), and all of his family live in Oregon.
You are also incorrect on the assumption that Farah doesn't pay any tax to the UK. Every time he races there, he must pay a portion of his worldly earnings in UK tax. That will be a lot of money and 100% than he takes from the UK social service system.
You are also incorrect on the matter that you need to pay UK tax to be knighted. Nor have I heard him say he wishes to be a knight. Nor does a knighthood matter. What a backwards and old fashioned system.
Try to use critical thinking correctly next time.

He is an odious and disingenuous migrant who has taken from the UK yet chooses to live his life in the UK. He gives nothing back after draining social services in the UK. The usual migrant problem - take and never give. Do not be proud - he is no more English/British than all the other economic migrants which the UK is stupid enough to accept year after year. For goodness sake, give opportunities to genuine English/British kids who need sporting and financial support to develop their skills rather than people like these paracites.
Because you're a bit Ukippy like this douche^
Perhaps it is just not a situation people are used to in the US with their top athletes. The biggest sports, are American sports like basketabll, football and baseball. The biggest leages are in their home country.
People don't call out out soccer players for moving to live and work in Europe for the biggest soccer clubs. It would be strange thingif they did. Garth Bale lives and works in Madrid. David Beckham did. Just got careers moves, just like Mo Farah's.
Applying Letsrun rules, the majority of the US national soccer team would be tax exiles.

Farah applied as a tax exile--filed paperwork. That means he legally changed his permanent address from the UK to the US.
The level of ignorance you have about tax exile is epic.

I answered your post fully. You just don't like that I'm right.
Farah changing his tax location to the US is the right thing to to financially and morally.
I will bet anyone he has paid more tax in the UK than he has ever used in services and the same goes for the US. What's more is he likely will pay more US taxes than anyone on Letsrun will pay in their respective lifetimes.
You can dislike Farah for a number of reasons, but just as the TUE nonsense is to doping, his tax situation is to his likeability; irrelevant and barking up the wrong tree.
Farah has expressed his support for the radical Islam, including terrorist groups, multiple times.

Brad Guzan has not transferred his permanent address to the UK? His career took here there eight years ago.
