Farah鈥檚 medical records to be analyzed
Print Edition
Mo Farah鈥檚 medical data will be analyzed in an independent investigation ordered by the governing body of British athletics, in light of the doping claims against the double Olympic champion鈥檚 American coach.
Ed Warner, chairman of UK Athletics, said yesterday that the investigation will look at 鈥渂lood data, supplements data 鈥 everything surrounding his medical treatment鈥.
鈥淲e need to make sure there鈥檚 nothing else there we haven鈥檛 seen, we鈥檙e not aware of,鈥 Warner told BBC radio.
In a story by American investigative journalism group ProPublica and the BBC, published last week, long-distance running coach Alberto Salazar was accused of using doping practices for his athletes at the Nike Oregon Project.
Farah, the world and Olympic 5,000 and 10,000-meter champion, is Salazar鈥檚 star athlete. Although there is no suggestion of any wrongdoing by Farah, he is concerned about the damage to his reputation and withdrew from the Diamond League event in Birmingham on Sunday so he could return to the US and 鈥渟eek answers to my questions鈥.
Salazar, who is an endurance consultant to UK Athletics, has denied any wrongdoing.
Salazar was accused by his former assistant, Steve Magness, of violating anti-doping rules and encouraging doping by one of his top runners, Galen Rupp. Rupp won silver in the 10,000 at the London Olympics in 2012, finishing behind Farah. Rupp also denies any wrongdoing.
Farah has said he will not break ties with Salazar as there is no clear evidence against the American. 鈥淚f I was a close mate of Mo鈥檚 and he was asking me personally 鈥 not as the chairman of (UK) Athletics 鈥 鈥榃hat do you think I should do?鈥 I might have been inclined to say, 鈥楧o you know what? The easiest thing for you to do right now is to suspend that relationship, take a breather鈥,鈥 Warner said.
