British Athletics have issued a statement accepting Mo Farah's decision to continue to be coached by Alberto Salazar. Farah had come under pressure at least to review his relationship with the head of the Nike Oregon project after Salazar was accused by a TV programme of involvement in doping.
“British Athletics note and respect Mo Farah’s decision to continue his coaching relationship with Alberto Salazar," Niels de Vos, the governing body's chief executive, said. "As is normal at this time of the year, Mo is currently training at altitude under the guidance of British Athletics as he prepares for the August defence of his world titles in Beijing. As has always been the case, British Athletics will continue to take responsibility for all nutritional, medical and sport science elements of Mo Farah’s training regime.”
UK Athletics Chairman Ed Warner added: “Our independent review will continue and will report its findings and recommendations, as previously announced, in early August.”
