From UK paper:
"Against the backdrop of a year in which his former coach and mentor Alberto Salazar has been accused of flouting doping rules and the sport in general has been forced to its knees, Farah admitted the emotion had got to him as he crossed the line in triumph.
Salazar, who denies all the allegations, is in Rio with the US team. He no longer works directly with Farah, but still sets sessions for him."
He's never really coached him. No is all over the globe, rarely ever home or in one spot.
He may email him workouts (that he doesn't do) and send a paycheck but he's never worked with him full time.
That's like the head coach who is a sprint coach getting credit for a champion pole vaulter. They had nothing to do with it except sign the checks.

You could not be more false. When mo initially came to Portland, he worked everyday with Galen and Alberto. Everyday. I saw them doing morning runs on hollister, long runs in forest park, repeats on the campus track, and hard tempos up on the terwilliger loop. They were in the weight room on campus twice a week. So yes, they did work very closely together for the majority of the year. Mo even went to park city with galen and Alberto. Something happened after London, and mo was never around. It was like he had disappeared. I'd see Galen with Centro, or Galen with Dathan, but mo was nowhere to be seen from 2013 onwards.
What happened was that Mo was taught all the stuff that Alberto had developed for Galen and it worked! He was now the fastest in the world and found the missing components that he was missing. Didn't need to be there day to day anymore since he knew how to train at that point. Free to travel and do his own thing with Salazar just sending him the details.
What happened was that Alberto got what wanted out of Mo for Galen's development. After Rupp got 2nd in London, it was time for him to quit following Mo.

You are a fucing idiot
Farah has a strange and mysterious coaching situation.
That instability is usually not good for a runner.
I don't k is how he keeps it together.
salazar never send goodies himself. too riskky. he has someone else send them in stealth mode.
How long was he in Portland?
He was an Internet coach for Cain in HS. So he coached Mo a few months in Portlsnd. Not like he's coached him and Mo has done his workouts every day for the last 8 years.

I started seeing mo around in late 2010 (November?). It was actually a big deal here. Farah was in a long contract with adidas at the time, and Nike had to pay a significant amount to get him out of it. So, it was pretty common to see mo and Galen running together in some instance here in Beaverton/Portland through 2012, as I alluded previously. I'm not sure why you're being obstinate, but it was far more than "a couple of months" as you suggested. Mo maintains a house in Portland, but I saw him running here in OR only twice that I can think of this entire year. Once, he was alone on Hollister, and the other, was right before his half marathon. He was out in the campus track with Alberto.

I visited the Nike campus for only one day in summer of 2014 and he was doing a track workout with Levins, so he was definitely still around at that point.
A little bit before the Cardiff half marathon I saw Mo fly by me on Hollister with Alberto riding a bike behind him. That was the only time I've seen Mo in Beaverton in the last year and a half. Although, I hear he does a good amount of his runs here on a treadmill. I was told he hates the cold and wet winters.

Mo's wife loves OR.
Mo doesn't hate cold and wet winters. He just likes being on the road and away from home and family.
Mo has also done some of the high altitude stints in NM and Park City with Centro and others, as well as running with them in Font Romeu as well, recall Centro's tweet earlier. But I would guess that after the Olympics in 2012, when Rupp was good enough to actually keep up with Mo on the last lap of the 10000m, though not good enough to recover for the 5000m, Mo probably decided that he was making his training partner too good, and this would have been really supported by how much sharper Rupp was indoors the next winter when he was running 7:30i/3:50i and beating Farah in training. So, much better for Mo to train separately, still with outstanding training partners such as Hamza Driouch, Souleiman, et al. with Aden, and Kenyan and Ethiopian partners at other spots he would go to, so that no one was getting the benefit of training with him (in the same event) for too long.

Let's not omit Baala, either...pity he's still in Spain with his passport being held. Oops!

Dead wrong. Alberto Salazar does not dope. Study this:

It is excellent that Balla and Souleiman (in the 800m only so far) are not going to ruin the medal picture. Of course Souleiman could still do it in the 800m. However, T. Dibaba just ran 29:42 for bronze (she was at the camp when it was busted) and G. Dibaba just closed in 57 in the semis, so it looks like Aden's still in business.
