Mo Farah; clean or dirty?

[screenman]

If I am ever in court for something I did not do I hope some of you are not on the jury.

What took you so long!

I'm just oot of my bed after an evening of beer and wine and <cannae remember what else>

When I read the title, all I could think of was:
Ooh Mo, you're so dirty.

With revelations this morning outlining the very dubious practices of Alberto Salazar and allegations that he emailed Lance Armstrong boasting just how good these shots he was giving were and offering them to the Texan, how do we now feel about this situation? Is the Salazar-Farah link any less suspicious than the Ferrari-Armstrong link?

Me, I made up my mind some time ago on this dodgy situation but would like to hear the views from those on here. Over to you good people.

I don't trust Salazar. As with any athlete, who's performance stats improve drastically over a short period of time, I don't trust Mo either.

... and <cannae remember what else>

Cider and gin appear to have been the other contributory factors to me feeling like shite today

[QUOTE 4699394, member: 76"]Of all the coaches in all the world he chooses Salazar.

As for the whole 'innocent until proven guilty' malarky, well that didn't seem to the case for the entire Russian team did it? They were all deemed guilty by association on the basis that the coaches were doping some athletes. We know that is what Salazar does, so at best, guilty by association.

And why hasn't come out at the earliest opportunity to cut his links to Salazar, possibly because Salazar has all the documents, data, emails and phone calls showing what they have been up to?[/QUOTE]
That's some jump, comparing the current allegations facing the sport to what happens in Russia. Chinese whispers.

Hey, don't bring the Chinese into it too!

I'd prefer to see evidence if there is any wrongdoing, rather than speculations of guilt by association.

+1

That said, anyone watching athletics expecting any of the field not to be cheating is huffing a crack pipe so big that I'm surprised they can see the racing at all.

 

[Hill Wimp]

Evidence.

Until I see enough hard and corroborated evidence then the man is innocent.

Well he's certainly not using anabolic steroids looking at him, unless the quorn is the antidote for the bulking up

 

[Drago]

True. I'd discarded KFC bones with more muscle tone.

Oh well he must be clean then.

 

[Vapin' Joe]

Not proven, but stinks.

I made a quorn curry for lunch, it was quite tasty.

I must say, though, that I'm still nobody's long distance track contender.
