Mo Farah story

[trueblue84]

A juiced runner in the mind of many.
He won a lot of medals for the good old UK though.

Even if he was, does it matter in the grand scheme of things. Take away the cult of celebrity and he's just a runner (a very good runner, but still...).

The media has a lot to answer for in building these people up so much (and knocking them down). At the end of the day, that's what they are... People.

That's pretty much my angle.

I wouldn't dispute he had a terrible time when younger or that he came here with a false identity etc. But it maybe embellishes his story a ton by describing what looks like a way to bend a rule to get him to a safe place to say it was 'kidnap' or 'trafficking'.

The feller is a complete spoof and phoney IMO. Always looking to stay one step ahead of a historic backdated drug expose.

I dont trust what he has to say AT ALL.

…for now I think we should see what the programme establishes about his transition to this country.

A few years back, he announced that going forward, he now wanted to be called his full name Mohammad and drop Mo. At the time I thought it a bit self pretentious. Now we know even that wasn't his name so what next?

Everyone who participates in any form of endurance sport, uses things like inhalers.

They`re not illegal and do nothing more than open your lungs up, so you get marginally more oxygen flowing around your body.

I use them before long trail races, along with a decongestant and hay fever tablets.

All you`re doing is giving your system a boost, before you set off.

However, they wouldn`t make a blind bit of difference, to someone who didn`t have a reasonable level of fitness.

The details are already out.

lol

The feller's a complete spoofer.

He's ridiculous...or he would be if he hadn't have blagged loads of gold medals off their rightful owners.

People making out, like all his medals and records just fell into his lap, as result of him taking PED`s are quite frankly talking out their arses.

Give your medals back you blagger!

They are the edge in competition.

You're not competing with anyone so use them with full legitimacy. Elite athletes are a different matter.

I already said that @COYBL25 scurrying his little fat hairy legs around a few forests isn't the same thing.

How can people hate on Mo

It`s no different than using things like Creatine etc.

All your doing is utilising stuff that`s legally available, to boost your own system and aid your performance.

It`s no big deal.

Only the wronguns.
