Agreed. Farah could have doped, but the fact that most on here are making a somewhat tenuous link between Aden being busted and Farah getting EPO from him, highlights how obsessed posters are in their dislike of Farah.
It is bizarre that people aren't focusing on athletes who are actually part of Aden's stable, but rather concentrate on someone who has trained with Aden's group on a few occasions over the years. Which is hardly surprising in itself. Plenty of elites find themselves at high altitude training camps, where there will invariably be others there who they can train with.
If you look hard enough and want to find something, there are probably another dozen elite middle and distance stars who have found themselves training on the same track as Aden and his group, over the years.
I don't find it bizarre in the least. Mo is nearby, Mo has a relationship with Aden, and Mo is the most dominant distance runner in the world since 2011 (when he first emerged as a world-beater at age 28).
Yes, he may be innocent, but I'm not sure why anyone would think that's the most likely scenario under the circumstances.
I suspect we won't have to wait long to find out. If Aden has been under surveillance for three years, I would guess that the users have been, too.
