LONDON - Mo Farah says he has suffered"financially and emotionally" from his association with disgraced coach Alberto Salazar, who is banned from athletics for four years over doping violations.
But, speaking to The Times, the 36-year-old, who will bid for a third successive 10,000m Olympic title in Tokyo in summer, has suggested that some sponsors have turned their back on him owing to headlines highlighting his Salazar links. "I don't want to go into any more detail but there's been a lot of stuff, financially and emotionally, where I have suffered a lot."
"I didn't have a clue," said Farah, adding that when news of the ban emerged,"for me it was like, wow, four years. I was thinking, 'Oh my god'. I know I never did anything. I know he was my coach. But to put up with this year after year, it's not you, it's the coach, but it's you it is aimed at, is quite frustrating.
