Farah was interviewed for five hours yesterday by Bill Bock, the American lawyer who played an influential role in bringing down Lance Armstrong.

The meeting was held at London’s Grange Tower Bridge Hotel, where Farah was quizzed over allegations Salazar had given some of athletes performance-enhancing drugs.

It followed the 32-year-old’s victory in the men’s 3,000 metres race here in the Sainsbury’s Anniversary Games on Friday (July 25), his first race in Britain since allegations of doping were made by the BBC against Salazar.

Farah has not been accused of any wrongdoing and has already claimed he had been happy to cooperate with any investigation.

Speaking after the pre-agreed meeting, Farah told the Sunday Mirror: "It went all right… it’s all good.

"And I’m good, good, good."

Farah has insisted he will continue to work with Salazar, a former three-time winner of the New York City Marathon, after accepting the response his coach made to the allegations raised by a BBC Panorama documentary. 

The world and Olympic 5,000 and 10,000m champion pulled out of the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF) Diamond League meeting in Birmingham last month claiming he was “emotionally and physically drained” by the controversy, and flew home to his training base at the Nike Oregon Project to “get answers” from the man who has guided his career since 2011.

Farah maintains he is satisfied with the answers he has had from Salazar, who released a 12,000-word open letter last month providing a detailed rebuttal of the allegations that were made against him and the Olympic 10,000m silver medallist Galen Rupp.

Rupp stands accused of participating in muscle-building testosterone programme from the age of 16, which he denies.

Jamaican sprint legend Usain Bolt believes his friend Farah is being unfairly tarnished by the scandal.

"I’ve come through the ranks with Mo, so I’ve seen the work that he’s put in," said the six-time Olympic gold medallist. 

"I’m sorry for Mo, because every day I hear in the papers they’re trying to tear him down.

"I just really hope that he doesn’t take it too seriously and it doesn’t stress him out.

"It’s part of the sport, people like to point fingers.

"When you have confidence in your coach over the years and you know who he is as a person, of course you’re going to want to support him as an athlete.

"If he believes in his coach, I believe him."
