Doping in other sports

This is not very surprising but pretty depressing reading nevertheless:

If Mo Farah's running on nothing more than Gatorade, I'll eat my sombrero.

Will be interesting the line Mo and Alberto spin, once they've concocted their defence

I have to applaud the BBC for sticking with this and gnawing away. Farah should be thanking them (if he is clean).

Move along, nothing to see here.

I was just about to post that. Things are looking darker with concern to Farah. Here is a quote from Ross Tucker on The Science Of Sport, which, as Resal earlier pointed out and which struck me as odd too, he discusses Farah's bizarre press conference of surprised, angry indignation.

"Oh, and finally, it does strike me as strange that Farah kept saying he would sit down and talk to Salazar, as though they had been ambushed by the allegations. The fact is, the BBC and ProPublica have a very strict policy when reporting, which requires them to contact all parties to inform them of what is being investigated and written, and to allow a response. The wheels on this have been turning for weeks, so it is inconceivable to me that Salazar and Farah were blindsided by the documentary and report earlier this week. When he says he is going to be “talking to people and asking questions”, that doesn’t ring true."

I admit to no longer trusting him and suspect him of being an accomplished liar.

Oh look, a former UK athlete leaps to Mo Farah's defence for missing 2 dope tests. Iwan Thomas, first class cock.

Now Farah's reported to have hired crisis management PR hotshots - that's really going to help!

Linford Christie's mate, isn't he?

Is the 'I didn't hear the door bell' defence not like the 'my dog ate my homework' defence ?

Glowing like the Ready Brek Man would be my guess...

I've been convinced that Farah's dodgy ever since his white training partner bagged a silver behind him in front of a whole bunch of Kenyans and Ethiopians, but missing doping tests is easily done - that's why you need to miss three before any sanction. As someone who has slept through the house alarm going off, I can easily relate to not hearing the doorbell.

Surely if they have to stipulate their whereabouts for one hour of the day they would be clockwatching, just like going to work...or am i being over simplistic
