"I am shocked to receive the news of today’s ruling, especially during this time in which I am fully preparing for my next race in the world championships in Doha. I like to state that this investigation is focused on the period before I joined the Oregon Project and therefore has no relation to me.
Alberto Salazar, the coach who oversaw the majority of Sir Mo Farah's career, and numerous others including, Matt Centrowitz and Galen Rupp, has been banned from athletics for four years for doping offences.

Shelly-Anne Fraser-Pryce was next level. She missed the 2017 London World championships because she had her first child, Zyon. But she's certainly back and basically better than ever (well 0.01 away from being better than ever).

Kenenisa Bekele made a sensational return to his international best with victory at the BMW BERLIN-MARATHON, missing the world record by just two seconds.
