Title: Catch me if you can

Did anyone watch this by Panorama?

Whenever watching Athletics I always think how many of these athletes are doping? After watching I find it difficult to believe people like Mo Farah arent.

WADA really need to imropove their methods of catching the cheats as Mark Daly demonstrates how easy it is to dope and get past the biological passport.

If Bolt ever gets caught out, athletics is finished, I reckon.

Bolt is for real. They knew he would be the fastest man ever when he was about 13. I've always suspected Mo being on stuff, wouldn't surprise me if he got caught.

Mo does Quorn, doesnt he?

I have never suspected Mo has been on anything other than talent.  Seriously doubt he would dope.

I doubt it too.  The bloke lives a devout Muslim life.

I think he might be. From the programme it looks like Rupp has always been doping and look how much better Farah did in the 2012 5000m than Rupp. How could he do that clean? + His association with Salazar makes me suspicious.

He's likeable so people would instantly think he wouldn't do this sort of thing. He's a Muslim, he's not devout. I've seen pictures of his mrs in the paper in a bikini, devout Muslim men wouldn't stand for that.

I think Mo was as surprised at the allegations as anyone else. I can't see him knowingly being involved.

Although Salazar sails close to the wind I'd be surprised if there is anything in the allegations.  His Oregan Project is heavily scrutinised as it is. 

Happy to stand corrected but sounds like sour grapes to me.

I've checked with my sources and can confirm Mo is clean and will be leaving Salazar shortly. You heard it here first.

Mo has been under a fair bit of suspicion from WADA anyway simply because his times showed great improvements over a short period of time - its one basic clue they look for with doping. However its also worth noting that these improvements were gained before he joined this stable and since then his times have been fairly consistent, he's developed more in terms of race management.

Now being accused of missing two drugs tests.

Interesting though that it was Salazar who pointed out to him the possible consequences of missing another. He would hardly have done that if he knew or suspected Farah was doping.

I reckon this story says more about the Daily Fail than it does about Mo. Had he broken the rules he wouldn't have been allowed to compete. Simples.

It does reek of the classic guilt-by-association stuff that is the mainstay of the tabloid press.

Many an athlete have missed a test.

Good work Daily Mail  :zzz:

Immigrant Drugs Cheat.

Paul Dacre must've been cracking one off over this story. I wonder if Marxists and the EU are involved?

Didn't Rio Ferdinand get a 9 month ban for missing a drugs test?

Yes he forgot about the test as he was moving house.

Yeah,right
