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.

A look at Mo's istagram:

and Twitter:

Shows no recent photos of Salazar coaching any of his sessions, nor him running or hanging out with NOP "teammates"...usually, if you are on a team, you have some pictures of you with your teammates and "coach" from time to time...

re: Mo Where to be Found

Mo is coached by Alberto Salazar and runs for the Nike Oregon Project. He currently lives and trains in Portland, Oregon with his wife Tania and their three daughters: Rhianna, Aisha and Amani. Tania gave birth to their fourth child, a baby boy called Hussein, in October 2015.

It was definitely far more than a couple of months. Mo dropped a decent sum on a house in the Portland area in January 2013. Clearly at that point he was still planning to be around town some.

re: come clean

Two possibilities:

1) Mo uses the NOP for its technological advantages, eg underwater treadmills, cryotherapy, trainers, form analysis etc. He doesn't need Salazar except to maybe write training programs, a big if. In fact UK athletics also monitors his training. He is never in Oregon and whilst he is in Ethiopia or Kenya (he gets on the hot sauce) and just does what the locals do for training. He only has a home in Oregon for his privacy (and his family's).

2) He is always in Ethiopia and Kenya as part of a plan that Salazar is probably in on and that is to observe what the top runner's in these countries are up to, and he reports directly to Salazar and NOP on any training changes or advances so they can incorporate it into their routine and Mo obviously fits into Africa far better than Mo, Ritz, Centro etc. And if we have a sinister view, he could be there to observe what's new in terms of drugs being used.
