Doping Allegations Forces Mo Farah Out Of Competition
Sunday, 07 June 2015
British star athlete Mo Farah has withdrawn from today's Birmingham Grand Prix at Alexander Stadium in England, citing a nasty episode and discomfort on allegations that his American coach Alberto Salazaar, could be using performance enhancing drugs on his athletes.
The
double 5 000 and 10 000m 2012 London Olympic Games addressed a press
conference yesterday. He was angry that his name has been dragged in
that mud and that if ever coach violated doping rules, he will walk away
from him.
The allegations
on the coach, have not been substantiated. The athlete, who is well
adored by many in England and elsewhere, had been scheduled to compete
in the 1 500m.
