Mo Farah will shock the world on Sunday

Never count Farah out. He's a competitor, I get that. But... a lot can go wrong in the marathon, even with stellar preparations. That goes for Farah as well.

Mo could run the marathon in one hour flat and the world wouldn't flinch.....or notice.

he would have to be picked up by Halle G. at the 9k mark and driven to the 36k sign.

Surely, you're not predicting a Farah win over the great one...?

No, I’m saying he thinks he’ll win, and with an attitude like that, anything could happen.

^ He has zero jitters. Like he knows something we don’t.

Some sauced-up Ethiopian but that is why Mo trains there to get the good stuff.

Oof. I see what you're saying now.

Well, if the sport is anything like wrestling, then Mohamed will indeed win.

Oh that’s right, I forgot Mo wears Reebok shoes not Nike.

Not that Mo's chances at a top 3 were stellar before all this, but now I'd be shocked if he does better than 4th on Sunday what with all the drama. And for the record, I think Sir Mo is going to need a top notch spin doctor going forward or he's going to find his dwindling fan base shrinking fast. I for one have been a straddler but am jumping off this sinking ship.

Smart move. We're seeing the unraveling of the facade a la Armstrong. The drug evidence and accusations will soon appear if this story gains traction.

This buffoon should have retired after his track career, but got greedy.

he totally reminds me of Lance Armstrong at this point

yeah he will shock "the world" the maybe 1,000 people total watching the race.

But you'll believe that Mo's doorbell didn't work twice for testers and that he and Aden hardly know each other? C'mon, Tony.

Yes i'm giving Mo the benefit of the doubt

No.

It turns out that the intravenous infusion of Levocarnitine that I gave to Sir Mo was EXACTLY 13.5 mL.

Question:

1) What was the actual quantity of L-carnitine in the intravenous infusion that was given to Sir Mo???

Answer from Dr. Chakraverty:

1) ... I have no idea...

Mo Farah was given the intravenous prescription drug/supplement before the 2014 London Marathon, in which he finished EIGHTH PLACE!

The doctor who gave double Olympic champion Mo Farah a controversial supplement has told MPs that he failed to properly document the treatment.

Dr Robin Chakraverty said the amount of L-carnitine was well within World Anti-Doping Agency (Wada) limits.

Dr Chakraverty said the substance was given to help the Briton's performance.

He said he gave 13.5 millilitres of the legal supplement, below the maximum allowed of 50ml within six hours, by injection and not via drip.

Ed Warner, the UK Athletics (UKA) chairman, told MPs that not recording injections was "inexcusable" although Dr Chakraverty said record keeping had since improved.

The use of the substance, given to Farah in 2014, is being looked at by the US Anti-Doping Agency (Usada) - which has called it an infusion - to determine whether rules were broken.

The injection/infusion... was made in consultation with Farah's American coach Alberto Salazar.

It turns out that Sir Mo is now coached by... NEW COACH GARY LOUGH (i.e., the Coach/Husband of BRIT MARATHON WORLD RECORD HOLDER... Lady Paula Radcliffe... from NotThatGreatBritain™).

Mr. Warner said it was... "disappointing" the injection had not been recorded at the time by the doctor.

At a meeting of the committee earlier this year, a doctor who received a 'mystery package' for cyclist Sir Bradley Wiggins in 2011 said he had no record of his medical treatment at the time.

Ex-Team Sky medic Dr. Richard Freeman had a laptop containing medical records stolen in 2014, the committee was told in March.

Team Sky and British Cycling's record-keeping was questioned at the earlier hearing and when it was raised again on Wednesday, Warner replied: "Please don't tar us with the same brush".

He said UKA was keen to centralise its records and now handles all of Farah's medical care.

"There was a period of a few months in which we allowed Mo to go to Oregon and be treated by a local GP over in America, and we were observing his medical care from afar," said Warner.

An interim Usada report centres on claims a number of athletes at Salazar's Nike Oregon Project were given L-carnitine - some of which were "almost certainly" more than 50 mL and therefore doping violations.

Another former UKA doctor, Dr John Rogers, visited a training camp held in France in 2011.

He reported back some concerns about the side-effects of some of the supplements and the prescription drug calcitonin that Farah was taking, but stressed there were no worries that anything illegal may have been taking place.

He reported back some concerns about the side-effects from the prescription drug calcitonin and massive amounts of Vitamin D that Farah was taking, but stressed there were "no worries" that anything ILLEGAL may have been taking place.

In conclusion:

1) It turns out that the 2014 London marathon was a complete disaster for Coach Alberto's confidence.

2)

Oh well.

It's not a big surprise.

It's probably just a coincidence.

The Telegraph is the alt-right of the British Media. Its the paper Her Majesty reads. Quoting it makes you look stupid.

Lol I’m bumping this thread tomorrow when I read Kipchoge runs a 2:02 for the win.
