Jo Pavey: 'I wouldn't associate myself with Alberto Salazar'

British distance runner Jo Pavey reveals that she would part ways with Alberto Salazar if she was coached by the American, who is at the centre of doping allegations.

Jo Pavey has revealed that she would "run a mile" if her coach had been accused of encouraging doping among athletes.

Alberto Salazar, who has coached Mo Farah since 2011, has been implicated during a BBC Panorama documentary, and despite the 56-year-old denying the accusations, Pavey has admitted that she would immediately part ways with the American.

The 41-year-old is quoted by BBC Sport as saying: "As an athlete, you don't want to associate yourself with people that have got accusations and allegations against them.

"I'm not here to accuse anyone, but if there was anybody I was slightly associated with that I suddenly realised had these accusations against them - or any of my training partners - I'd run a mile."

Pavey is currently preparing to compete in the 10,000m at the European Cup in Italy.
