UK Athletics: 'No evidence of Mo Farah wrongdoing'

UK Athletics announces that no "evidence of impropriety" has been found against British distance runner Mo Farah after claims were made against his coach Alberto Salazar.

UK Athletics has revealed that a review into Mo Farah's partnership with coach Alberto Salazar has found no evidence of wrongdoing involving the British distance runner.

Last month, in a BBC Panorama documentary, Salazar was accused of encouraging doping among his athletes at the Nike Oregon Project, although there was never any suggestion that Farah was involved in any of the allegations.

The Olympic champion has found himself under fierce media scrutiny over the past seven weeks, but on Thursday afternoon, UK Athletics announced that it had cleared Farah during its recent assessment.

Farah is currently preparing to feature in the 5,000m and 10,000m at the World Athletics Championships in Beijing next month.
