Farah, in a transcript seen by the BBC, radically altered his account of taking the supplement once he spoke to UK Athletics' head of distance running. LONDON: Mo Farah repeatedly denied to the United States Anti-Doping Agency taking a legal supplement prior to the 2014 London Marathon, before changing his account once he learned the doctor who injected him had told the investigators he had taken it, the BBC reported on Monday .
As a result of the overall investigation, Salazar has been banned from athletics for four years over doping violations. The US coach, who is appealing against his ban at the Court of Arbitration for Sport, led the Nike Oregon Project training group, where Farah was a star name from 2011-2017.According to the BBC, Farah - who finished eighth in what was his first London Marathon in 2014 - was questioned by USADA officials investigating Salazar for nearly five hours a year after the injections took place.
He is then asked:"Are you sure that Alberto Salazar hasn't recommended that you take L-carnitine injections?"He is asked again:"You're absolutely sure that you didn't have a doctor put a butterfly needle... into your arm... and inject L-carnitine a few days before the London marathon?"He then left the room but returned soon afterwards with a different account, apparently after speaking with UK Athletics head of distance running Barry Fudge.
