Sir Mo Farah has faced increased scrutiny after a BBC Panorama programme revealed the four-time Olympic champion changed his account over reportedly receiving injections of the legal supplement L-carnitine when questioned by United States Anti-Doping Agency investigators.
UK Anti-Doping (UKAD) has denied claims they refused a request from the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) to hand over samples from Sir Mo Farah for retesting, as part of an investigation into athletes trained by the Briton's disgraced former coach Alberto Salazar.
Russia have accused UK Anti-Doping (UKAD) of creating "a wall of mistrust" after they revealed they would block any attempts by the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) to seize samples given by Sir Mo Farah during an investigation into athletes trained by the Briton's disgraced former coach Alberto Salazar.
Britain's Sir Mo Farah is returning to the track and plans to compete in the 10,000 metres at next year's Olympic Games in Tokyo.
UK Athletics has commissioned an independent review into its own handling of its relationship with the Nike Oregon Project (NOP) run by Alberto Salazar, the American coach banned for doping.
World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) President Sir Craig Reedie has promised his organisation will "look at" athletes who trained under banned coach Alberto Salazar, including Britain's four-time Olympic gold medallist Sir Mo Farah and The Netherlands' double world champion Sifan Hassan.

At the 2004 Olympic Games in Athens, Iranian judoka Arash Miresmaeili was disqualified for weighing in at nearly four pounds above the limit for his weight class of his under-66 kilograms match against an Israeli opponent Ehud Vaks in the first round. It was claimed Miresmaeili had gone on an eating binge to protest the International Olympic Committee's recognition of the state of Israel. Iran does not recognise the state of Israel, and Miresmaeili's actions won praise from high-ranking Iranian officials. Mohammad Khatami, the country's President at the time, was quoted as saying Miresmaili's actions would be "recorded in the history of Iranian glories". He was later awarded $125,000 by the Government - the same amount given to Olympic gold medallists.
