The Farah "prescription drug" was for VITAMIN D

I'd be considered a Mo hater by many, but I just had to laugh at how silly this is😂😂

How can this fact not be mentioned by Letsrun in their headlines?

A friggn Rx for VitaminD. This is the "prescription meds... to boost performance."

Letsrun is despicable. Any coach, athlete or fan that finds glee in this headline should be ashamed.

What a disgusting witch hunt.

It's crazy how many people are going to actually believe this is a PED too lol

This thread will unfortunately be deleted to keep the NOP hunt alive.

Vitamin D = Masking Agent

Vitamin D deficiency masking primary hyperparathyroidism

That would be you. Think secondary effect to deal with something that is being hidden. Layers of an onion.

Masking a disease is not similar to masking a PED....

Same difference. Not that you can grasp that. You also don't seem to know Farah has thyroid "issues". Issues that occur because he has a disease, or it seems like he does because of .... now think.

Uh huh. "Answer the Doorbell, Mo.". Clean. So clean. Never tested positive.

Don't forget Mo Farah claimed how lax drug testing was in Ethiopia before flying off there to train in 2016. And again in 2017 after he got whopped in a race.

Free my boy Mo Farah out of the can , yo!

Did you even read the article? We didn't leave that out at all.

We said, "The USADA report stated that Farah was one of multiple athletes given prescription drugs with no medical need in order to boost performance. Salazar took what USADA called “egregious risks” by urging Farah to take dangerous doses of a legal vitamin D prescription drug. The Sunday Times says Farah’s British doctors intervened after concern about Farah’s health. "

The mass quantities of D are less about it and more about something else. I wonder if the USADA has cracked what the intent of the D was. Why take so much?

isn't it to try and lower shbg and increase free testosterone?

Or maybe because there is barely a scant of sunlight in the great northwest. Lots of people in the NW take large amounts of VitaminD. Good for bone health (promotes calcium absorption).

It's vitamin D. Sounds like Farah was taking too much of it and the UK doctors backed him off on it. Good for them. Probably realized he didn't need as much if he was training in places like Kenya or Ethiopia in the winter.

It's vitamin D. The Russians are passing tampered blood through holes in the wall and you guys are going bonkers over an athlete taking too much Vitamin D.

Let's pump the brakes here folks and use your heads. Your hatred for the NOP and lust for blood is blinding your rational thinking.

Farah spends very little time in the great northwest. He is usually is sunny southern Europe or always sunny Africa. Do try to keep up, okay.

Ah, but we have no idea the dosage was. It sounds like it could have been really high, like tens of thousands IU regularly. I am not trying to slander anyone - am purely interewsted in the reasoning of a massive vit d dose.

Doesn't sound like there is much concrete evidence against Salazar
