Mo says that people constantly asking about his doping is making him depressed.

If he takes meds for the depression, that can be argued to be illegal as it helps his performance.

If he is illegally using anti depressants he should be banned for life!!!

I love self irony. Good job, Sir Mo!

Why don't you make a thread asking why this entire forum is screaming - 'Rupp is back baby' while the Britush media and athletics fans are hounding Mo out of the GB team? All because of his association with the American Al Sal and NOP, which he left in 2017, while Rupp boasts he is still.in 'personal' contact with sleazy Sal?

Maybe you could change your name to 'American fake tan'?

So stop asking him about it, problem solved.

Remind me, how many times did Aden hold a stopwatch for Rupp in Font Romeu...oh sorry, I meant Sabadell!

I genuinely can't wait to hear what garbage Mo comes out with next. Depression, kids being sad, race- he's rattling through all of the go to strategies when a man is guilty.

Is it because of my colour?

He has even played the race card. The sound of a desperate guilty man

When this board was going after Lance (before he admitted), was it because of his colour?

Or was it because it was obvious (association with specific doctors, lack of blinking when asked about his drug use...)

I'm a Mo fan but his story keeps changing and changing again. There is simply no consistency with what he's is saying and the British coaches are saying about these injections. They were trying to conceal them from any detection. I believe the L-carnitine quantity was over the legal limit.

At what point are you no longer a "Mo fan"?

Ahhhhh....here comes the colour card. For those of us here in England also of colour, it’s offensive to use that excuse. Has he forgotten his close association and lies regarding Aden as well? What about the whereabouts issues in Sabadell v Font Romeu?

How many times has Rupp been to Kenya and Ethiopia for “training camps” to get the good stuff?

And a 43 year old from Farah’s group making your Olympic team? That certainly doesn’t help the argument.

Don't act like all those Essex girls don't love their spray tans.

But the thing is the British press and fans aren't even talking g about Aden OR the doorbell. His association with an American coach of an American sponsored Anerican training group, now serving a 4 year ban for doping offences, is enough to condemn him in most Brit's eyes.

Just like Laura Muir was forced to backtrack on having a weak connection to a NOP physiotherapist in 2017, while Donovan the next great American world record holder Brazoer was actually joining NOP.

And we all know.Rupp is likely still being coached by Salazar, or at least being given advice, just as he has been for the last 15 years or whatever.

And the Americans conclude from all of this that Brits are dirty and Rupp is back baby.

Remind me how that works?

And remind me how many testosterone patches Salazar gave Mo while you're at it.

BTW, Mo is dirty as F** and I've been saying it for years and accused of racism because of it. But the double standards here and anti-British hate here is astounding. Shame Mo is as much American as British, and far more East African than either.

It's not like he made a one off mistake. He repeatedly engaged in doping and deceit, selfish lies and coverup. He meticulously chose to do this so he should be prepared to face the consequences. He probably thought he would get away with it because a lot of runners get away with doping. Lance did the whole time until his ego finally brought him down and people ratted him out. These lies he has told are pathetic and admitting to them seems bizarre and desperate. What's next? "I took EPO but I didnt know it would help me. Think of my kids." His excuses, pulling the race card. He is definitely guilty and desperate.

Britain's three best endurance athletes ever are dirty. That's why you have the reputation.

That's a good question.

"I'm a Mo fan but his story keeps changing and changing again. There is simply no consistency with what he's is saying and the British coaches are saying about these injections. They were trying to conceal them from any detection. I believe the L-carnitine quantity was over the legal limit."

Farah has brought a lot of this on himself. He has misremembered (or lied!) about his links to a coach who was found with lots of banned products in his possession. He claimed not to have heard his doorbell when the testers came calling when we all know that the testers don't just knock quietly once and then go away, they make repeated attempts to rouse any occupants of the property they are calling at. Then he lied to USADA officers (or misremembered!) about injections he received before one of his London Marathon races.

None of this is a good look for him, he can't really be surprised if more people are becoming rather cynical or sceptical about his career.
