DOHA - Sifan Hassan repeated that she was a clean athlete after winning the world 1,500 meters title on Saturday, days after her coach Alberto Salazar was banned for breaking anti-doping rules.
American Salazar, the head coach of the Nike Oregon Project , was banned for four years on Monday by the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency for “orchestrating and facilitating prohibited doping conduct”.There has been no suggestion of any wrongdoing by Hassan but she was asked about the issue in live television broadcasts, in the mixed zone interview area and the post-race news conference.
A defiant Hassan said she was inspired to join the NOP by watching Britain’s world and Olympic champion Mo Farah, who was also coached by Salazar.
