Double Olympic and World Champion Mo Farah will return to track on Thursday for the first time since doping allegations against his coach Alberto Salazar.

The 32-year-old athlete will square-off against his British team mate Andy Vernon in the Diamond League 5,000m in Lausanne, the BBC reported.

Farah had earlier said that he had never taken performance-enhancing drugs in his life, insisting that he would never resort to any such things.

Although American coach Salazar has denied these allegations, Farah insisted that his coach would soon be providing evidence to make this clear.

Last month, an 'emotionally and physically drained' Farah had pulled out of a Diamond League meeting in Birmingham.
