Fuck, that reads very badly.
No?Remember when that bloke let him win the great North run?
My sentiments exactly.most people who know about athletics question why he was good but not world class when younger, then suddenly it all changes... what brought about that change ??
mind you there's a 55 yr old local athlete who just recently broke the world mile record (over 50s?) and who i hear was a good runner in his 20/30/40s then all of a sudden excelled.... people will always question what brings about a sudden change if it wasn't evident when they were younger
I've always said there was something off about Mo. He's got the look of a man with something to hide.
Oh I love a Mo Farah thread. On each one I say the same thing. It’s of my opinion that he has been on the drugs since he was 15/16yr old. I used to go round the cross country’s when I was a kid to watch me brother who ran against him. We all know.
He’s been found out recently. The GNR is a joke for not allowing anyone in who can beat him. He was miles off the pace in the marathon and had the audacity to blame the water Marshall’s. Yeah, it’s their fault Mo.
I will look forward to the day it all comes out.
My sentiments exactly.
Without posting a picture of Mo Farah - what does that actually look like?
There’s nothing to wonder about it. He’s a blatant cheat.I really want to believe him as I’ve enjoyed watching him compete the last ten years. But it does make you wonder . . .

his career invites scrutiny. To understand why, you need to go back a decade, to 2007. That year Farah set a personal best of 13min 7sec. That ranks, now, just within the thousand fastest times ever run. There is no hard rule about when a distance runner reaches his peak but a study of 72 elite 5,000m runners published in 2011 found the mean average age for the peak performance in that group was 24 years old, which is the age Farah was when he ran that PB.If it's that blatant then provide some evidence.

At the world championships in Osaka that year Farah finished sixth in the 5,000m. At the world championships in Berlin in 2009 he finished seventh. By then he was 26. It is hard for an athlete to make a leap forward at that age but Farah did. In 2010, when he was 27, Farah lowered his PB by 9.6sec and then in 2011, when he was 28, he cut it again by another 4.83sec. He explained the biggest reason for the improvements was that he had spent his winters training in Kenya and Ethiopia. It was also said he had become a lot more disciplined in his training and more dedicated to his career.
By then Farah had also joined Nike’s Oregon Project and started working under Alberto Salazar. “I believe he can just make that half-per-cent difference to get close to a medal,” Farah explained. Salazar did more than that. He turned Farah from the best distance runner in Britain into the best distance runner in the world. Farah won his first world championship title at Daegu in 2011, in the 5,000m. There was a lot of talk about the biomechanical changes Salazar had made to Farah’s technique, especially for his last-lap sprints, and the advanced machinery Farah was now using in training: underwater treadmills, cryogenic chambers and the like.
So just because his career doesn't follow the theme of others he's a cheat?
