UK Athletics clears Mo Farah to continue working with Alberto Salazar

A UK Athletics review says that it has no problems with Mo Farah's relationship with Alberto Salazar despite doping allegations made against the coach.

A UK Athletics review has said that it has no problems with Mo Farah's relationship with Alberto Salazar despite doping allegations made against the coach.

In June the UKA announced that it was to set up a review after a BBC Panorama documentary alleged that Farah's training partner Galen Rupp had been taking the banned anabolic steroid testosterone since he was 16 under the supervision of Salazar.

"In July we said that there was no evidence of any impropriety on the part of Mo Farah and no reason to lack confidence in his training programme. They have also found no reason to be concerned about the engagement of other British athletes and coaches with the Oregon Project," read a UKA statement.

"The review established that the vast majority of the endurance programme's interaction with the Oregon Project is in fact focused on Mo Farah, with very little other UK Athletics related activity. Coaching and support for Mo Farah will remain the focus of our engagement with the Oregon Project.

"The Oversight Group has made a number of organisational and procedural recommendations which UK Athletics' Performance Director Neil Black will take forward and implement over the coming months."

Farah won the 5000 and 10,000m at the recent World Athletics Championships in Beijing under Salazar.
