Funny how posters demand evidence and then ignore it.
IAAF vice president (now current president) was British at a time when IAAF officials were found to be accepting money for making positive tests disappear and people scream for 'evidence'!
That is one piece of evidence in a long line of dots that when joined posters still scream, no 'evidence'.
Sport is corrupt. That has been proven over and over. For posters to demand evidence is pretty sad.

Evidence of Mo Farah lying about his Coach Jama Aden
https://twitter.com/Swift__Girl/status/764795945523482624
Aden's daughter outs Mo Farah.
Farah claimed in a question put to him by Irish Journalist that he didn't know Aden and the photo was a fan photo.
See evidence. Lying. Why lie? What is Farah hiding as an athlete? Answer = doping.

Re:
they're probably target-testing him as we speak.

Re:
That's old news. Literally and figuratively. Once news came of Aden's doping practices and how he's worked with some 'well known' athletes, Farah quickly distanced himself from him. It's really a quick fix. Done before. Cycling has had TONS of that.

^that's true.
it's the oldest trick in the book.
the question though is what are UKAD doing to catch him?
In the Stevens case, UKAD claimed they announce their in-competition testing on twitter just so that they can then target-test the guys who decide to not show up at the race. The same with the whereabouts form (see Pooley's comments on Armistead's case): UKAD allegedly target-test athletes who make many sudden changes in their whereabouts form.
In other words, UKAD claim they're looking for specific reasons to target-test certain athletes and not others.
Now, for Mo I think everybody agrees UKAD have been given plenty of reasons to target-test him.
Well, have they?
I strongly doubt it.

Re:
And regardless of the criteria, if all the news surrounding Mo hasn't triggered UKAD to target-test him I take that as evidence of UKAD's incompetence at best, and of their complicity in doping at worst.
If "strong suspicions of connections between athlete and one or more exposed doping coaches/doctors" doesn't count, I don't know what does. And there's Mo's missed test(s?) of course.kwikki said:

Re: Re:
This used to be Walsh's bread and butter investigation of connecting the dots. Alas it's really only been Letsrun.com and other blogs sites that have done the work. There is an awful lot of coincidences in Mo's timeline but I don't see the appetite for any mainstream publication to really want to peel back the layers and see what's there.
Runners are also fortunate that they don't have a 21 day event in which journalists could hit them with questions each day about their associations.

I read that before the games, that the British federation had a goal of 48 (or around 50) medals. They are currently at 35. With still almost half of the Olympics to go, that shouldn't be a problem at this rate. I think it's too bad that the team hasn't included Froome in track cycling, and any of the athletics events (marathon included). I mean, just look at the way he ran up Ventoux. He'd surely give Mo a far better competition than those pesky Kenyans! :lol:

As Walsh noted wrt the British medal haul in 2012, UK have specifically targeted sports where doping is less prevalent, allowing them to compete clean and win many medals. Damn why didn't other countries think of that.
