Long distance runner Mo Farah has been involved in a social media spat on micro blogging site twitter with fellow 5000 and 10 000m runner Andy Vernon.
Farah who is also a London 2012 Olympic champion responded to Vernon`s suggestion about there being a lack of high level competition against Farah in Birmingham on Saturday February 21.
“Another stellar field against Mo Farah on home turf this weekend at Birmingham. #joke,’ tweeted Vernon. The 31-year-old replied: “Shame you didn’t make the line up….again #ComeBackWhenYouWinSomethingDecent”.
Vernon, 29, hit back with: “Lol Mo Farah I think even you can work out that I can make the cut to the Indoor Grand Prix. Lets hope no one loses their shoe…”
The argument continued as Farah responded: “I wish you did make the cut mate so I can leave you in my dust like ALWAYS!! hahahaha #hatersgonnahate”
The trading of blows continued for an hour, with Vernon replying: “1) stop quoting Taylor Swift. 2) I don’t hate you Mo. I would just rather watch a race than the the Mo Show. #playersgonnaplay.”
Farah concluded by saying; “that’s why they didn’t put you in the race mate.. Cos you’re an embarrassment!! Taylor swift can probably run faster than you!”
Farah is set to make his season debut at the Sainsbury’s Indoor Grand Prix at the National Indoor Arena in front of a sell-out crowd.
