Mo Farah’s ‘last two weeks have been the toughest of my life’

A post on Olympic and World 5000m and 10,000m champion Mo Farah‘s social media said “the last two weeks have been the toughest of my life” with scrutiny on the British runner following a report implicating his coach in wrongdoing.

“The last two weeks have been the toughest of my life – with rumours and speculation about me that are completely false – and the impact this has had on my family and friends has left me angry, frustrated and upset,” was posted on Farah’s social media Friday.

Farah’s coach, Alberto Salazar, was accused of violating medical and anti-doping rules with his athletes at the Nike Oregon Project by the BBC and ProPublica in reports published June 3.
