News about Alberto Salazar

Sir Mo Farah ran in his last race after finishing fourth in the Great North Run. Earlier this year, the four-time Olympic champion announced that his career will come to an end at the North East half-marathon. Before Farah finished down the Coast Road to applause from the crowd, Tamirat Tola won the men's elite race.

The drug-busters in sport are 'destroying' the kind of critical data that helped to lure Alberto Salazar, the infamous American athletics coach, according to Mail Sport. The World Athletics Championship is this weekend, and the global anti-doping service has been chastised for deleting personal information for tens of thousands of athletes every year. According to leading investigators, the policy of wiping out whereabouts details and some medical information after 12 months is jeopardizing the war against drug dealers.

Sir Mo Farah appears to have come to an end of the road, according to RIATH AL-SAMARRAI. His mind has been telling him for two years that he still has it, but his legs and lungs are reluctant to push the same fib, and so he's just about done. He'll be back to the London Marathon on Sunday morning, and if rumors are correct, he reckons he will get around in two hours and six, but it will be his last dance at that distance. And yes, it's also in that kind of prestigious company. The transition from there to retirement will be a short one. He's likely that he'll have a few other races, but they'll be smaller, shallower fields.

After announcing that the London Marathon would be his last run over the distance, Mo Farah admits age has caught up with him. The four-time Olympic gold medalist turned 40 last month and has only been involved in two more events after this weekend before retiring. Farah has been forced to miss last year's London Marathon due to a hip injury, and Sunday will be his first marathon over 26.2 miles in three years.
