Mo Farah story

You leave Bruce alone or you shall deal with ME!

Bruce is a defender of PED taking athletes. I understand where he's coming from.

This is a different issue though.

I'm calling out "Sir" Mo Farah for the spoof he is.

I know a lot of people aren’t a fan of PED but it’s a bit of a stretch to suggest he’s the one that took Mo Farah
 

Documentary getting aired tonight.

Very strange this one.

Is this for real or is he embellishing this story with stuff like "kidnapped"?

Full disclosure: I have to say I've never liked the feller or trusted him for his *cough* training regimes with Salazar and Rupp etc.


?

Christ Dave is life that bad that you care about this?
 

The man is clearly elite, inhaler or not.
Yes you are right. He will be a exceptional athlete drugs or no drugs. I have no clue if he cheats or not but at that level they always talk about small margins. So drugs may make the difference between winning and coming second, but like I said I have no clue if he cheats or not

Yeah, I'll be honest I know very little of Mo other than he has won this Country a load of medals and he is basically a machine.
 
That was interesting.

I take that back. His story appears very believable.

Here's the thing though: I think his search for the person who trafficked him probably lands at the feet of his own mother. If you watch the documentary all roads lead back to her. I think she wanted him off her hands but not to be treated like an unpaid slave in London skivvying for another Somali family.

I do think it underlines though how easy it would have been to supress taking PEDs given the complex way he went about keeping his change in identity secret. And I'd also say it looks like he was estranged from the woman who later took him in as her own kid and looked after him for 7 years until he began to find fame. He looked VERY sheepish about making contact with her again for any info she had on his early life and he seems to have treated her and her own family shabbily.

I felt sorry for him, but I defo think he's as *sharp* as they come in terms of the way he's gone about things.
