Is it something about the british media that seems to forget the association between Sir Mo and the renowned drugs cheat Salazar.
From his perspective ,why would you be associated with a known and tested cheat and stand so positively behind him.
Shades of Sir Bradley ,who of course is whiter than white,but a british hero.

I was there last night-and it was a real 'I was there' moment!
Somehow we were sat 7 rows back from the track on the back straightaway (after paying for the cheapest seats) and it was just amazing.
The speed was obvious-and the surge in the middle looked very dramatic but farah was mainly serene. We were right by where he got nudged on the last lap and that was a bit nerve wracking!
Overall the thing that will probably live with me forever though was the noise as he kicked for home at 200m to go. It was like everyone stood up and simultaneously roared him home at that point.

It will be something you can take to the grave with you. The atmosphere was electric just sitting at home so to be there must have been really special.Somehow we were sat 7 rows back from the track on the back straightaway (after paying for the cheapest seats) and it was just amazing.

I don't think Mo ever thought he was in any danger.

Fantastic to actually be there. Somehow we were sat 7 rows back from the track on the back straightaway (after paying for the cheapest seats) and it was just amazing.

The sports crowds here put other nations to shame.
We never see full stadiums like you do in the UK, our appetite and enthusiasm for live sport is phenomenal
I've a pal going tonight to hopefully see Usain take the 100m crown, that will be a never to forget moment as well.

It definitely will be. From where we were sat it looked like it was going to be close at 150-100m but Mo kicked away again.I don't think Mo ever thought he was in any danger.
The contact happened just in front of us and was a nervous moment. It could have all gone in that moment!

just watching a programme about Bolt. the more I see him and hear him the more I like him he is just such a nice guy.
Do you think he's doing it clean?I'd love to support him but sprinting, and particularly Jamaican sprinting, is simply now rotten with doping.
He's finishing a long way ahead of great athletes who are also convicted cheats.
Unfortunately, I expect Bolts legacy will end up like lance Armstrong's.

I really do hope both Bolt and Farah are doing it clean.
It really doesn't bear thinking about if they were subsequently found to be cheating.
I agree. Both unfortunately have some pretty dodgy connections to cheating coaches and teammates (bolt more than Farah) but are now too big to fail. It really doesn't bear thinking about if they were subsequently found to be cheating.
It's unlikely any doping will be unearthed whilst both athletes are still competing and certainly not until Coe stops being in charge of the IAAF.
