Pierre Ambroise Bosse calls out Mo Farah on French TV show

He says he's a nice guy, family man, likes his accent, but that he's not a fan of Farah. He implies he's suspicious of him being a doper due to his association with the Salazar team, but the host says well he usually trains separately and just meets with Salazar 2-3 times a year in Oregon, to which Bosse doesn't respond right away and the host says well all right we'll just leave it at that.

And Bosse is clean? Didn't he run 142? That's pretty suspicious in itself.

It really bothers you that your name is "doping more than no farah." I'm almost certain it's an autocorrect and you meant Mo. if not, congrats, you managed to annoy the nitpickers on letsrun.

Bosse ran 1:42, but he ran that in a ridiculous race where he was towed to the time. He hasn't really won anything. His results could be the product of doping, but I think it's more that his results are the product of others doping and towing him to one insanely good mark.

Bosse routinely puts himself at the front of the field and did so in that 1:42 race -so I'd hardly say he was towed to it. It was more a case of him having the balls to go with the pace and putting it on the line (much like he did in the Rio final when he paid the prices and faded to 4th)

My group have trained with Bosse in the past and I haven't seen anything from his camp that would make me doubt that he was doing it clean.

To put this thread on your homepage and not moderate this, the second post on the thread.. stupid beyond belief

Why else do you think our ancestors left Europe? Because of chimps like Bosse. Not to mention Europeans don't shower daily, brush teeth daily, nor do they wipe off the excess excrement off their anuses.

I'm shocked that this shocks you...this is par for the course. There is no rhyme or reason as to what gets deleted, and what stays.

I just became a fan of Bosse

3rd all time in 600 is when I became a fan- showed guts and supports his 800 PR.

its good that some athletes are willing to vioce opinions opinions without tearing other athletes apart

He did nothing of the sort. He shadowed David Rudisha and mirrored every step of his till he got singed in the last 50 metres. But I'm a fan of his running, nevertheless.

That was awkward 😂 Hopefully I'll find the full interview.

Classic strategy: ad hominem. Bosse is right to question Farah, associations with two drug coaches, Salazar and Aden, late career resurgence, usually races rarely, never runs close to wr times yet is never challenged at championships.

Props to the guy. He is getting asked about Farah and replies what he honestly thinks. No intention to start a public beef or anything.

People like him or Symmonds that sometimes are voicing out about what they are fighting against (dopers or USATF for instance) are surely the real deal.

Yes he did. JR is saying he had the balls to go with the pace and putting it on the line in Rio, which is exactly what he did by shadowing Rudisha. Everyone knew what Rudisha would do.

Don't know about Robertson, but if Bosse is irrelevant than 99.9% of other athletes are irrelevant as well...

Always a fan of Bosse, and an even bigger fan now!

Tony, post your real name.

cool!the amount of questionable activity and doubts about Farah's rise to success will forever tarnish his career. He's an asterisk in the minds of many, like Daniel Komen, El G, east germans etc.If he is indeed doping, and I say that because he has never been caught and innocent until proven guilty seems fair, it will come with the cost of heavy suspicion by the T&F community...which might be more painful to handle for him than having a guilty conviction.if everyone doubts you, then your world gets very small. at least Lance Armstrong now has that heavy burden of guilt off his chest. (maybe it truly didn't bother him though, he seems kind of like a pathological, sociopath liar)

"...Asked about Mo Farah, Olympic champion of the 5,000 and 10,000m, Pierre-Ambroise Bosse recognized that he was "not a fan" on the show "Private Meeting" on Wednesday night on SFR Sport 2. " Athlete has never convinced me. I have doubts, "said the 800m French specialist on the British athlete suspected of doping..."

What did he say in the video? In one part they mentioned something about Alberto Salazar. Better translation will be welcomed.

As long as the tour de france has a near 100 percent doping rate I cannot take anything a French sportsman says seriously.
