Is Mo Farah 'a full shilling'?

If you moved to Somalia aged 8, how do you think your language skills would fair in comparison ?
He is effectively communicating with halfwit journalists in his second language, who bring up drugs and Salazar at every single opportunity, why would it surprise anyone he was curt with the media, they have nothing on him, he's passed every single test and they don't like it, they've had the winning on the track at the Olympic story, the journey from Mogadishu story, they got bored of it, and now it's time to bring him down, that's their line of work, prostituting their souls in pursuit of money, these 'journalists' don't understand what pure physical and mental hard work is, so they question anyone that is successful, they don't know what it's like to put yourself from the physical and mental torture Farah has done to make it to the top, they also don't know what it's like to not see your family for 6 months of the year and to miss their kids birth. They get their accreditation, watch World class elite Athletics for free, have their flights, food and accommodation paid for them by their organisations and effectively leach off of the sports stars to make a career/living for themselves, yet at the very same time try to destroy them when the time is right for them.

By all means interrogate the ones posting spontaneously silly times, the one's who have failed tests but still win races at 35, the one's who have sudden spikes in performances, by there is no need to harass and harangue CONSTANTLY athletes who have passed every test, answered every drug related question before over several years, over and over again, and expect for no anger or level of annoyance to build up over time before eventually over spilling into outbursts, good on Mo for standing up for himself. He was not born to be a media star or to have great 'communication skills', he is not a PR wh0re, personality wise he's an ordinary person who has never flaunted himself on an endless array of braindead reality TV shows or Chat show appearances, he's kept them to a minimum and himself largely to himself.

Some people have different talents in life, some are good at writing, some are good at talking, and some are good at running, bullshit talks and money walks, my money has always been on Mo, a Great Briton

Excellent post s_h........

Not hard to pass every test when you can't hear the doorbell

What no Farah is from somalia your joking I thought he was English are you sure

Our media love to go on about the drugs but if they want a level playing field then surely our athletes shouldn't receive lottery funding and endorsements. If every athlete received the amount of money per season for coaches and equipment I would love to see how high we get up the Olympic medal table.

Is this the British Sir Mohamed Muktar Jama  Farah whose first name has been conveniently shortened to Mo to take the emphasis off his real first name Mohamed by vested interests, who moved to Britain at the age of 8 to take advantage of all that Britain had to offer and moved to Portland, Oregon, USA in 2014. Yep- certainly a true Brit!

I think the only thing better than watching great British athletes like Mo win again and again is seeing some of our compatriots squirming as they try to rain on his parade without being too overt in their beliefs.

The good doctor has it in a nutshell in his succinct post.

Slicer, yes this is the British Mo Farah who grew up in this country and has lived the majority of his life here. This is the Mo Farah whose father was born here, lives his life here and is a British citizen. This is the Mo Farah who moved to the U.S to try to become the best in the world at his job. It takes a certain kind of narrow minded thinking to hold moving to the U.S against him.

Just posting the facts. Unfortunately some people think that telling the truth is Islamophobic. Surely you aren't one of those!

Nothing to do with being black. It IS galling to see athletes, cyclists, well paid pop stars and their ilk getting knighted for things that they are trained and paid to do. The award of a knighthood should be for bravery ONLY a la Sir Francis Drake etc.

Don't worry Mr 22, I gave up trying to edumacate them wot won't be edumacated a long time ago!

Flo Jo and Paula Radcliffe never failed a test...fact.

Well I remember that Saturday the second one at the Olympics. Can't remember who won what but it was one helluva day/night! Can't remember the skin colour of any of the athletes except Mohammed Farah but everyone was amazing. A great night in the British sporting pantheon of which there are many.

Wasn't me. I was tucked up in bed at the time of the fight. And although I am old, I am not a lady!

Sir Mo Farah wants to be known as "Mohamed" when he takes on the Great North Run next month after bowing out of his track career. The 34-year-old claimed a silver medal in his last major track championship race in London, finishing behind Ethiopia's Muktar Edris in the 5,000 metres on Saturday night. Farah is now switching his focus to road racing - beginning with the Great North Run on September 10 - and wants it to be a fresh start, with the four-time world champion ditching "Mo" to become known as "Mohamed". He said: "My road name is Mohamed. I just feel like Mo is done. I need to forget about what I've achieved and what I've done."

I was very surprised when he was just starting out and all these years that he did not tell everyone to call him muhammad as it is supposed to be offensive to true believers of islam.  Maybe he is doing it now as he has had pressure brought to bear on him?

Why attack a man that has done his best?

So when he wins he celebrates by doing the Mohamed Bot.

Slicer you just shot yourself in the head thanks ..
