That interview with Farah is why I'm deeply suspicious of him. Very "Armstrong" in his approach - how can he say he "doesn't understand" why the media report on him a certain way when his coach, who he STILL hasn't disavowed, is extremely likely to be involved in doping the athletes under his charge. Specifically, Galen Rupp - Farah's training partner for years.

So he at the very least should understand why it's happening, but instead he attacks the media for their reasonable position on it. They're not accusing you Mo; they're saying there's reasonable doubt. And there is. There most certainly is.

absolutely agree. He avoids the questions all the time and tries to shut down the debate with emotional blackmail. Michael Johnson was less than impressed with his performance in the press conference.

All told this has been a pathetic games for GB.

Yeah, attaining within the target medal range while also having several near misses from some up and coming athletes who will have gained valuable experience. Thoroughly pathetic. :Blink:

Is it over? Thank god. The wife is glued to it. That Gabby Logan's voice has been ringing round the house for days.

Two gold medals out of all those competitors was pathetic. The athletes in this country are per capita much better funded than those elsewhere apart from the U.S. team.

I keep hearing the BBC commentators underlining the fact that there's a lot of Scots in the team. I think they're trying to pin the failure on them.

lol lol lol

Indeed, it's the same reason sky and froome come under attack, their handling of the situation is so arrogant
