Mo is no doper, blasts coach

-

MO FARAH’S coach Alberto Salazar has staunchly defended his athlete against doping accusation­s popping up on website forums.

Farah won the 5,000m and 10,000m titles at the World Championsh­ips in Moscow to repeat the momentous double he achieved at the 2012 London Olympics.

And Salazar said: “It bothers me when people question my integrity.

“At this level, we know we’re clean. We know we’re never going to test positive for anything. No way in the world. I have a clear conscience.

“Everybody believes that if anybody runs well they have to be on drugs. That’s their excuse for why they don’t run well.

“So there are fewer people for us to worry about because they’re all using this as an excuse.”
