2. The U.S. Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) recently
questioned double Olympic champion Mo Farah as part of
an investigation into allegations surrounding his coach
Alberto Salazar breached anti-doping rules.
USADA and UK Anti-Doping are presently investigating
claims made in the BBC Panorama program 'Catch Me If
You Can". During the program, it was alleged that Farah's
Coach Alberto Salazar violated various anti-doping rules
and used Testosterone medication in 2012 on Galen Rupp
when he was just 16 years old. All doping allegations have
been denied by Rupp and Salazar.
3. The Sunday Mirror newspaper said Mo Farah spoke with USADA
lawyer Bill Bock in a hotel on Saturday for five hours in London. The
questioning of Farah came a day after the British long-distance and
middle-distance runner won the 3,000 meters in a Diamond League
meeting at London’s Olympic Stadium. Farah clocked the fastest time
in the world this year and won in seven minutes 34.66 seconds. The
runner, who is credited with the distinction of being Britain's first-
ever men's European Championships gold medal at 5000 meters in
2010, received a raucous reception from the crowd in London.
USADA officials have met 20 witnesses with links to the Nike Oregon
Project that is operated by Salazar. One of those, Treniere Moser,
remarked last month that she had spoken to USADA investigators.
Moser remarked he had done her part and she had talked to them and
given them everything they wanted and that is the best she could have
done.
