Is Mo thinking he may have been micro-doped without him knowing?

Why would a second rate athlete who since joining salahzar has made astonishing improvements to become a double olympics champ be worried? |
|
By:
if justin gatlin and dwane chambers were coming on and saying this is nonsense ,then he would have reason to be worried.

It was the BBC that effectively accused him. The sh1t will stick whatever happens now.
I think he should have run today and then told the BBC interviewer to fook off. |

The career of Michelle Smith de Bruin, the Irish swimmer who won three gold medals at the 1996 Summer Olympics, appeared to end in disgrace yesterday when swimming's world governing body banned her from competition for four years after finding that she had manipulated a drug test by spiking her urine sample with alcohol.
The ruling landed a shattering blow in Ireland, where de Bruin, who competed as Michelle Smith in the Atlanta Games, had become a heroine as the country's first woman to win an Olympic gold medal. Now she has become one of the most accomplished athletes to be banned in a drug scandal. I remember Clinton supporting her for the Irish vote when he was running for president |

Can't believe anyone still believes the athletics myth
Project Oregons high altitude rooms and cryogenic chambers clearly show the days of training hard and eating pasta/chicken are long gone. |

He runs 100-120 miles a week. I'd say he works pretty hard. |

I went to Perry Barr today and there was certainly a lot of traffic heading in the direction of the stadium. So yes, many people were going to be disappointed. |
|
By:
I would be more interested in the times he clocks a few months after the coach has gone. (if he goes)
I think mo is worried about that too, hence not wanting to get rid of him with all the allegations surrounding him. |

i'd rather go Sparkhill Park |

Went to the Boars Head for lunch Capt'n, good range of food, all you can eat. Just at the back of Perry Park.
I would rather not go to Sparkhill Park thank you, been there, done that! |

Why, what were you doing?
I live just down the road in Hall Green and used to go to Sparkhill quite often to buy fruit and veg. Never had any problems from the "locals". |

foinavon, i just thought that the event organisers might have given some sort of compo to the racegoers, who were mostly there to watch mo. seems wrong to me. |

1st lie
The double Olympic champion appeared to say that he found out about the allegations only “three to four days” before the airing of the BBC Panorama documentary in which Salazar was accused of plying the Olympic 10,000 metres silver medallist Galen Rupp with drugs. However, the Daily Telegraph has learnt that, while not being told full details of specific allegations, Farah was informed that Salazar may have committed doping offences when he was sent a letter four weeks before the programme aired. Salazar and Rupp were also issued letters notifying them of drug offences at the same time. |
|
By:
One enormous cultural difference between Perry Barr and Sparkhill but while I'm not saying it I feel much safer in Sparkhill.
|
|
By:
Farah is fooked now whatever evidence or refutation is produced. Many people have already made up their minds. If he wins in August they will say he's on drugs. If he doesn't win they'll say he's come off the drugs because of the allegations.
|
|
By:
He's an athlete therefore his reputation is tarnished in many peoples eyes anyway.
Apparently he's gone from being 'half-decent' to the worlds best (implicitly because of drugs use0. Whereas of course, if he'd come from nowhere and won everything immediately, that would have been 'because of drugs use' too. |

Salazar ran in the ING New York Marathon in 2006, at age 48, serving as a pacesetter for cyclist Lance Armstrong, who was attempting his first marathon. Salazar was primarily responsible for guiding Armstrong for the first 10 miles (16 km) of the race, while Joan Benoit Samuelson oversaw the next 10 miles (16 km), and Hicham El Guerrouj the final 6.2 miles (10.0 km). With their help, Armstrong met his goal of completing the race under three hours, finishing in 2:59:36.
How well did he get to know Lance Armstrong then? |

In 1996, at the age of 37, as she qualified for the 5000 meters at the Atlanta Olympics, Decker became involved in controversy. A urine test taken in June at the Olympic Trials showed a testosterone to epitestosterone (T/E) ratio greater than the allowable maximum of six to one.[12] At the time of the positive test Decker was being coached by Alberto Salazar
Salazar will never really be able to prove a negative. He is not a doper. Mo has handled it badly should have dropped Salazar (pending the any evidence of either way coming forward) and ran on Sunday, hes just adding wood to the media fire at the moment |
|
By:
Athletics like most sports is very incestuous and particularly because of the club scene it's hard for anyone to operate under the radar. Whether or not Farrah was using drugs it would be unlikely that he was not aware of what his coach was up to.
