UK Athletics stands by Salazar
Print Edition
UK Athletics said yesterday it has no concerns over the conduct or training methods of Alberto Salazar, the coach of Britain’s double Olympic champion Mo Farah.
Prominent athletics coach Salazar and US Olympic silver medalist Galen Rupp were accused of having violated anti-doping rules by a BBC documentary which aired this week.
Salazar said on Wednesday that the BBC and US website ProPublica had engaged in “inaccurate and unfounded journalism”.
UK Athletics said anti-doping authorities should investigate the allegations but it is currently unconcerned by Salazar’s role in coaching Farah.
“Whilst acknowledging the gravity of the allegations, UK Athletics can confirm it has had absolutely no concerns over the conduct and coaching methods of Alberto Salazar in relation to Mo Farah or in his role as an endurance consultant,” the governing body said in a statement. “As an organization with a proven anti-doping commitment, we view the allegations made in regard of non-British athletes who have been coached by Alberto Salazar with utmost seriousness.
“It is the role of the appropriate independent anti-doping agencies to investigate these further.”
Farah — who won the 5,000 and 10,000 meters at London 2012 — was not accused of any wrongdoing but the governing body said it will conduct a review into the management system surrounding the 32-year-old.
