One of them was because he didn't hear his tester at his front door?
Its not that unbelievable is it?
Maybe he was taking a shit....or shagging his mrs.....or playing in the garden with his kids....or injecting steroids.....who knows??
His coach appears to be shady but from what I've read, missed tests in athletics are not that unusual purely on the number taken.....
one of the reported missed tests was before he even started with the allegedly dodgy coach....
no surprise its the daily mail going after Mo......:thinking about:
What the article is missing is how the number of tests Farah has missed compares with other athletes. If nobody else ever misses one but he's missed two then it looks a bit dodgy, although still within the limit for missed tests which according to BBC Breakfast is 3. If pretty much everyone else has the same number of missed tests then its a total non story.
Wasn't the issue with Rio that they turned up to the training ground to carry out the tests and he did a runner? A bit different to someone randomly turning up at your house unannounced which seems to be how it works with athletics.
The Daily Mail would never make anything up.
Did you read that in the Daily Mail?

should they not report on it then?

Not without context they shouldn't no. As I mentioned earlier athletes have to miss three tests before action is taken, so Farah hasn't really broken any rules. The context that is missing is how Farah compares to other athletes. If its common for athletes to have one or two missed tests its a complete non-story. If it's unusual for athletes to miss any tests then the implication of the story is valid.
The conclusion I draw from the fact the context is missing is that its not an unusual occurrence.
I can't draw a conclusion, I'd like to no more.
There's an underlying hint that because he's a black African born athlete, any inference that there may have been something slightly dodgy going on is bordering on racism. Therefore, nothing to see here. Move along.

Christ, why is it anything to do with him being black? More like his coach is a bit dodgy when it comes to it and he has missed drugs test. Surely if Chris Hoy hammered the Olympics and it came out his coach was a bit shady and he had missed a few drugs test.
Why does race even come into it and why do people throw that shit about?
If I had a drug dealer coming to my house every day for example, would people think I was doing deals because I was white or because there was a dealer coming to my house every day?
