Farah: I wish I'd known about Salazar's doping violations sooner
The HinduBritish athletics great Mo Farah says he would have been the first athlete to leave disgraced coach Alberto Salazar’s camp had he known he was involved in doping. The 36-year-old Somalia-born distance runner — who will bid for a third successive 10,000 metres Olympic title in Tokyo this year rather than continuing to conquer the marathon — told the BBC he wished he had been aware sooner about Salazar’s illegal activity at the Nike Oregon Project. ‘Annoying’ “Had I had known the news, what Salazar did, it’s taken four years, had I known that sooner I would have been the first one out,” said Farah. I haven’t been part of Salazar for the last two years.” The World Anti-Doping Agency is to investigate athletes from the Oregon Project — which Nike closed down in October — and could retest past samples.
