        Not gonna lie, this struck us as a bit harsh. Then I remembered, He's got ties to two coaches under doping investigations. He was a complete also ran until his late 20s. While there are tons of places to train at altitude, he consistently does it in Africa each year. He was one missed drug test away from a conviction.

        Why wasn't this written years ago? We just don't want to admit the truth.

        Mo Farah was an also ran until he became associated with Alberto Salazar and Jama Aden.
        Mo Farah was an also ran until he didn't hear the doorbell when the drug testers came.
        Mo Farah was an also ran until he said he was training in France but he was really in Spain.
        Mo Farah was an also ran until he started spending large parts of the year in 3 world countries.

      • Very well written. Going from claims of 100% innocence to they've never tested positive. Quite a metamorphosis...

        Salazar has never hidden the fact that he carries testosterone gel with him, but claims it is because he suffers from hypogonadism, which means he suffers from low testosterone and requires testosterone replacement therapy. Yet the Usada report dismisses this explanation, saying that Salazar failed to provide “acceptable justification for possessing testosteroneâ€.

        “Despite Usada’s request that he do so, Mr Salazar has still produced no laboratory testing records, blood test data, examination notes, chart notes or differential diagnosis substantiating that Mr Salazar suffers from hypogonadism,†it adds.

        Rule 21.2.6 of the World Anti-Doping Agency code states that athlete support personnel are strictly banned from possessing banned drugs without “valid justification.â€

        Salazar has also admitted conducting a testosterone experiment with Dr Jeffrey Brown, involving rubbing the banned substance on his sons, in a bid to see what levels would trigger a banned test. This, he explained in 2015, was to protect against his athletes potentially being sabotaged after a race so that they would test positive. Yet Usada are critical of this behaviour too, calling it “UNLAWFULâ€.

        On Sunday it was revealed that Usada’s report also says that Salazar “almost certainly†broke anti doping rules when he gave infusions of the amino acid L carnitine to six of his US athletes at the Nike Oregon Project in Portland, Oregon, where Farah trains.

        The 269-page interim report, which was sent by Usada to the Texas Medical Board in March 2016 but never published, also alleged that Dr. Brown had provided Salazar’s athletes with prescription drug cocktails, often with NO MEDICAL NEED, and had “engaged in SERIAL VIOLATIONS of PROFESSIONAL, MEDICAL and ETHICAL OBLIGATIONS to his patients, putting them at increased risk of injury to their health and wellbeingâ€.

        https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2017/mar/03/leaked-usada-report-suggests-fresh-claims-alberto-salazar-mo-farah

        This is all conspiracy theory nonsense.
        This is all fake news.

        I don't think that there is anything in the 269 page report sent to the Texas Medical Board that Coach Alberto Salazar or Dr. Jeffrey Brown should worry their wee brains about.

        Alberto is going to sleep just fine.

        OK?

        Alberto will just take a few Ambien to 'help' get to sleep...and have pleasant nightmares.

        Sleep well Alberto.

      • He trained in East Africa when he was an also ran. If you want to beat the best you have to train with them.

        Does he really have any ties to Aden?

        Dibaba was in the hotel that was busted, he is her coach yet Farah us the one in the news all the time

        Wouldn't surprise me if he doped but this recent stuff is a farce. You could take lC orally, inject it or shove it up your arse. Only hobbyjoggers believe supplements significantly improve performance.

        What is the connection between cycling and running especially as their coaching bases are in different countries!

        That's because the Irish at least try to test and bust their athletes who are cheating. The Brits just invite their dopers to a parliamentary question panel ... :)

      • Call me when someone faces sanctions. It's easy to make up reports, but USADA needs real evidence before it can bring charges.

        All this stuff is always about Salazar, not Farah. Salazar coaches a lot of athletes.

        If it just takes some thyroid medication (which there is no evidence Farah takes) to go from 10th in the world to number one, then how come everyone isn't on it? Everyone was on melodonium, athletes in all sports across the world. They hear about this stuff first and take advantage.

        Like I said. Call me when something happens.

      • Got to say this; the article sums up pretty much the direction my thoughts have been moving over the last few weeks. Team Sky now looks like a gigantic fraud perpetrated against the British sporting public and the evidence against Salazar becomes stronger with every new revelation. Since Farah has tied his colours so firmly to Salazar's mast he will inevitably go down with the sinking ship.

      • What evidence? If you have some actual doping evidence then state it. Legal supplements and TUEs are just that legal , however you , David Walsh or Sweeney want to spin it.

        The press are making something out of nothing. USADA have their own agenda .

        As usual it drives a nail into Athletics and cycling. Coe and the likes of LR should be putting it out there that athletes are entitled to innocence presumption and unless there is clear evidence of doping or legal infringement then allegations without proof should be treated as defamation . Easy targets for the dogs in journalism

        Where is the same investigation into Soccer, Rugby, NFL or MMA- are any of these sports vetted at all by WADA or other bodies ? What do teams use to assist performance? Why was Operation Puerto not pursued? How are rugby guys twice the size of yesteryear?

        TUEs are not legal if they are being given for an illness that does not exist in the athlete being given the TUE, like Bradley Wiggins' "asthma" for example.

      • Team Sky buy large amounts of what convicted doper David Miller calls the most potent PED he took ( and he took a lot of illegal stuff) and cannot answer basic questions about who used all this stuff, when was it used, why was it used, where was it used etc., etc. This is pretty damning stuff!
        The evidence against Salazar (and by association, Farah) is not yet as clear cut but it is mounting and fewer people I've spoken to are now convinced of their innocence. If Salazar and Farah were Russian the demands for them to be banned from the world Champs would be deafening with the BBC commentary team screaming the loudest!
        I have long believed that use of PEDs is rampant in other sports such as tennis, soccer and rugby. But what that has to do with the guilt or innocence of runners and cyclists I'm not sure!

      • Many of the big sports have their own drug testing rules.

        I have looked up a few of the NFL rules a couple years ago. They have a heads up before testing, I think 2 weeks. They don't get tested in the off season, they get warnings instead of suspension for the first offense. Etc etc.

        Considering the physical damage they can inflict on each other, you'd think people would make a bigger deal about their drug use. Instead, they make tons of money and get stadiums funded by taxes and cycling and running make no money and are constantly suspected of doping.

        Such is the world, eh?
