Double Olympic and World Champion Mo Farah has insisted that he has answered all the questions regarding doping allegations against his coach Alberto Salazar and has nothing more to say.

The Briton has come under heavy scrutiny after an investigation alleged that Salazar, who was hired as Farah's coach in 2011, doped United States 10,000 metre record holder Galen Rupp in 2002, when the athlete was 16 years old.

The 33-year-old athlete said that he had answered everything he could, regarding doping allegations against Salazar and now the situation was not in his control, adding that he has put aside the controversy and is concentrating on the upcoming season, the Guardian reported.

The British sprinter said that at this point of time, he just wants to carry on running, enjoy with his family and take part in competitions.

Farah will take part in the 3,000metre race at the Sainsbury's Anniversary Games on Friday as part of his preparations for the world championships in Beijing next month.
