The performance director of UK Athletics warned the UKA board that his position would be “untenable” if they forced Mo Farah to sever his relationship from Alberto Salazar in the wake of a Panorama programme in 2015, an independent report has revealed.
Neil Black, then performance director of UKA, told the UKA board that he “greatly admired” Salazar and had seen no evidence to support allegations that Farah’s coach had broken anti-doping rules.
