once said he never questioned his coach and wasn't interested in why he was asked to do things. Damning and a great defence all at the same time.

Must be a few arsed nipping in that camp now. Once the coach falls I imagine a dominoes effecting happening

 

[Fletch]

Must almost be the norm at that level.... Shit isn't it

Farah withdraws from race today

Net closing in on the coach?

Imagine the fall out if Farah is implicated in all this. Be the end of athletics

Lost all respect for Mo after his manufactured victory in last years gnr anyway, still be a shame for the sport if he's eventaully implicated in all this

Like the bloke said on thst programme. He went on a extensive drugs program and never failed a test and he didn't have a team of medical experts behind him either

Makes you also wonder how low down the ladder that performance enhancing drugs takes place - if that makes sense ???
I was out for a slow run with couple of old runners last week and they were questioning the performances of a North East runner who is over 50 and gettin shit hot times , I couldn't hear all the conversation but I knew what they were implying.
If I thought there were cheats just in local running clubs (never mind international level) I would pack in and just run to keep fit only.
The sport does itself no favours mind, a lifetime ban should mean just that.....

There was a thread on here somewhere or on the SMB proper where somebody was wondering why Farah suddenly seemed to improve.

Why not just allow everyone to take them and award medals to coaching teams as well? Could be a bit like F1 where the coaches try to come up with the most effective drugs etc like the F1 teams do with dynamics etc.

Can't speak for endurance athletes, but I know of academy level youth athletes
