Mo Farah: Constant drug-cheat accusations left him depressed

Mo Farah has said that he has been left depressed over accusations that he lied about taking a performance-enhancing injection. Farah repeatedly denied being a cheat and has also been left frustrated by accusations regarding his association with coach Alberto Salazar. Salazar has been banned from athletics for four years over anti-doping breaches - something he is appealing against. Having been left irritated by the accusations surrounding him, Farah has labelled the claims as 'annoying and damaging'. The Olympic hero added that he had 'completely forgotten' taking a L-carnitine jab before the London Marathon in 2014 as he mistakenly thought that he had been given magnesium injections. Farah initially denied having a L-carnitine jab before later changing his story.
