I see reports that he has missed a couple of drug tests before the Olympics, although to be fair it is not that uncommon a occurrence. With the Salazar thing saga hanging over him as well,  what price (not the price of being officially caught) do you make him to have ever  taken performance enhancing drugs?

4/6 shot for me

After Mail reports Mo Farah missed 2 pre-Olympics tests, UK anti-doping agency says missing 2 'not common'

More like 1/20 shot IMO, of course proving that he has rather than actually what the truth is are 2 very different things.

Athletics is as riddle as cycling was in the 90's (possibly still is), this Salazar case is the tip of the iceberg. All my opinion of course.

He went from also ran to world beater in his late 20s within a season. If he wasnt in a GB vest I dont think we would even be asking the question.

Rio missed one and was banned from football for 9 months.  How are you allowed to miss 2 in athletics and not receive a ban?

Rio was judged to have deliberately missed one , in athletics you will get banned if you are judged to have deliberately miss one otherwise they give you leeway of 3 per calendar year

Being able to miss two tests is ludicrous as EPO only stays detectable for such a short space of time. The Panorama programme showed just how easy it is for athletes to manipulate the bio passport via micro dosing. I'd price him up at 1/66 particularly bearing in mind his huge improvement and coach.

Very very hard to believe he has not at least had epo boosts

As samurai says coach missed tests and a big improvement relatively quickly does not look good

just released

"Mo Farah said
"I have never taken performance enhancing drugs in my life and I never will. Over the course of my career I have taken hundreds of drugs tests and every single one has been negative. I’ve fully explained the only two tests in my career that I have ever missed, which the authorities understood, and there was never any suggestion that these were anything more than simple mistakes.

The last two weeks have been the toughest of my life – with rumours and speculation about me that are completely false – and the impact this has had on my family and friends has left me angry, frustrated and upset. In particular, the media pressure on my young family and my wife, who is 5 months pregnant, is extremely painful, especially as I’m away training for some important races.

As I made clear, I went to Portland to speak to Alberto Salazar and demand answers. He reassured me that the claims are false and that he will soon be providing evidence to make that clear. Until then I will not be commenting further on the allegations.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank my fans, family, friends and teammates for all the great support they have provided over the last few days and hope that I will now be allowed to focus on my training and winning medals for my country.""

This rumour that she has been the unnamed British athlete, who had a super injunction to stop her blood results coming out has been doing the rounds for about a month in Twitter etc.
