    Everyone at the top level of sports is. In every sport.
    Really?
    Arsene Wenger from 2016: "In 30 years as a coach, I have never had my players injected so that they might perform better. I’m proud of that. I have played against a lot of teams who were not in the same frame of mind."

    Wenger in 2004: "We have had some players come to us at Arsenal from other clubs abroad and their red blood cell count has been abnormally high," he said at the time. "That kind of thing makes you wonder. There are clubs who dope their players without the players knowing. The club might say that they were being injected with vitamins and the player would not necessarily know that it was something different."

    “It is very difficult for me to believe that you have 740 players in the World Cup and you come out with zero problems," he said.

    Who have you spoken to that "reckon he is"?

    Honestly, if he was, I reckon he would have been caught by now.
    I;m not sure on the exact details, but I remember reading something, perhaps after the Olympics, about how Mo's performances had dramatically improved after he changed his coach, a coach who has something of a 'reputation' now that isn't proof of anything, I know, but it's certainly offers some food for thought.

    Tbh, I'm with @SELR_addicks here, I think they're all at it.

    I tell you what, anyone who is not 100% in admiration of Mo Farah, do yourself a favour and seek out a copy of tonight's Zurich Diamond League 5,000m, his last ever track race.

    In it was Edris who beat him in the world's and a whole host of others who thought he was now there to be taken. I'll spoil the finish for you, Mo holds them all off in one of the tightest finishes you'll ever see, and if you ever need an example of how much sheer determination there is in an individual to be a winner, the No. 1, you won't ever see a finer example than this last lap.

    Absolute legend

    It's filth journalists like Stan collynore matt Dickinson etc that fuel this fire

    If for one second these absolute c$$ts of human beings thought they had any evidence on mo Farrah taking drugs they would've been dribbling semen at the thought of their headline in the morning

    Both on twitter have let out that we knight drug cheats in this country

    Yet when called out have refused to divulge that are just attention seeking whoars

    If mo has done it , it will come out and his reputation will be rightly ruined and dragged through the mire

    Until then let's just behold him as a national treasure and the master in his chosen art

    Alberto Salazar - Mo Farah's former athletics coach - has been banned from the sport for four years after being found guilty of doping violations.

    Salazar runs the Nike Oregon Project - home to British four-time Olympic champion Farah from 2011 until 2017.

    If Salazar was found guilty he should have received a life ban.
    If athletics really want to make the sport "clean", why would they let him return ?

    The Athletics Authorities are like FIFA and the EFL. Money rules to the extent that they were happy as pigs in sh** that the last Olympic 100 metre gold medallist was a convicted drug cheat.

    Athletics can be wonderful to watch and I do but, like cycling, I sometimes think that the true defining factor is who got the best grade in Chemistry O level.

    the sport will never return to being 'clean' .. on the weekend, the men's 100 metres world champ winner was a suspected drug cheat, suspected being the operative word

    IF IF Farah was taking drugs, 2 things occur to me .. 1) The substance was good enough or the masking clever enough to avoid detection and 2) On the assumption that the majority of athletes are breaking the rules, if you can't beat 'em, join 'em .. whatever, Farah is a fantastic athlete and druggie or not (I say not), is worthy of immense respect

    Casts a shadow over Mo. Hope he can clear his name completely but it’s odd to be honest.

    I was once speaking to a lecturer at Canterbury university that was involved with the statistical analysis of drug testing. He said the drugs are often years ahead of the tests, ie what they need to look for. This is why they keep samples for years these days.

    Wonder what the those who want to be charged, would do?

    Winning 🥇 for Rwanda.

    'Kick on Mo, Kick on', I remember the words I was shouting at the London Olympics. What pride and joy he gave the nation.

    Genuinely a very brave thing to admit with this government in power.

    Wouldn't put it past Priti Patel to try to send him back to Somalia/Somaliland as an example.

    Sorry - I was obviously making a needless sarcastic comment. I shouldn't post so early in the morning.

    "The documentary ends with Farah speaking to the real Mohamed Farah, whose identity he took entering the UK"

    Imagine thinking some one famous who had the same name as you actually was using your name and identity. That's mental.
