6:34 pm
it is just such an incredible thing to be involved with. the scale of it, the magnitude of what it means to be competing at an olympic game, so to be competing at an olympic game, so many few people on earth who get to experience that. evening, mo farah‘s former coach alberto salazar has been banned from athletics for four years for doping violations. farah‘s six years with salazar, the man behind the nike 0rgeon project, saw him win four 0lympic titles and six world titles. farah, who has alsways denied any wrongdoing and has never failed a drugs test, cut ties with salazar two years ago,
6:35 pm
says he has "no tolerance for anyone who breaks the rules or crosses the line". in a moment we'll hear from our sport editor dan roan and get plenty of reaction to today's news. but firstjoe lynskey looks at the investigation that has led to one of the sports most successful coaches being banned. music. in 2015, the bbc panorama programme rocked the sports foundations. their report had been looking into historical drugs offences and athletics. instead, one name from the present kept coming up. this is alberto salazar, america's iconic marathon runner, now pushing the boundaries and coaching. in 2001, with nike possum kept him he likes the oregon project. a base in the state where the sport best runners got even better. most everyjoint in 2011. he was there for six years. and with salazar as his coach, he
6:36 pm
won double gold in london, then again in rio. farah has neverfailed again in rio. farah has neverfailed a drug test and is always denied breaking the rules. i haven't done anything. but my name is getting dragged through the mud. but it from the camp say many 0regon project at the camp say many 0regon project at the leaks were forced to dope by salazar. they came forward and panorama pots might catch me if you can. he was a win at all costs sport person. hurting the sport. those allegations were heard around the world. many still stood by salazar. farah kept him on his coach for two more years, and uk athletics looked into it, but saw no reason for concern. but then in 2017, more details about the oregon project we re details about the oregon project were leaked online. now salazar would face charges. after a hearing last year, today the verdicts were given. and salazar was banned from athletics for four years, exposed as
6:37 pm
athletics for four years, exposed as a coach who cheated and dope. he is unlikely ever to return. some of the background to today's decisions. let's bring in our sports editor, dan roan now. evening dan, what exactly has salazar been found guilty of doing? in the words of the anti—doping agency, salazar was found guilty of orchestrating and facilitating what they call prohibited doping conduct. in other words, breaking the rules. not of doping any of us at the lease but of breaking anti—doping rules. specifically, he was found to have been guilty of three separate charges. —— any others at the lease. the administration of prohibited methods, i infusion, multiple athletes, tampering with or attempted tampering with it doping control processes, and trafficking 01’ control processes, and trafficking or trying to traffic testosterone which is of course a ban performance
6:38 pm
enhancing substance. a doctor that he worked closely with, doctor brown, and texas was also banned just like salazar. in this news is sending shock waves through the world of track and field and be gone because this is a man who as you know is a legendary distance running coach, he is the man who has really helped mo farah become britain's most decorated every track and field star, and tonight, he is banned from the sport and disgrace for the next four years. mo farah was the star people but towards the end of the time to that association, mo farah came under increased heat as the allegation in the investigation came to light. the wisdom of that relationship is going to come in to question get again, is in the? absolutely. no suggestion
6:39 pm
again that of any wrongdoing or cheating by mo farah. what however i think this news does do is raise questions about his judgement and specifically whether or not he was right for him now in light of this news to remain loyal to his coach, his former coach, or more than two yea rs his former coach, or more than two years after those allegations first surfaced in the panorama documentary in 2015. it wasn't until two and a half years later roughly in october of 2017 that mo farah finally parted ways with salazar, he said of the time it was nothing to do with the doping allegations, and his adviser said today that he didn't know that salazar had been charged several months before that decision injune of 2017. but nonetheless, i think that will come under some scrutiny, that will come under some scrutiny, thatjudgement to stay that will come under some scrutiny, that judgement to stay with that will come under some scrutiny, thatjudgement to stay with his coach, he released a statement early today in which he spoke about his
6:40 pm
relief that this investigation was finally concluded and he reiterated that he wanted no association with anybody that had broken any rules, we asked the bbc sport commentator steve kram earlier on today and he of course is still a nike ambassador as well as a former distance running champion himself. about that decision to buy it mo farah to stay training with salazar for more than two years after the panorama documentary first aired the allegations. any catholic has to have 100% faith in their coach. otherwise another word. —— any athlete has to have. it is quite difficult for any outside intervention to break that up. without a very good reason. it is up to the athlete to decide at what point that becomes a reason to break. either from an ethical point of view or from a performance point of view or from a performance point of view. it happens very regularly particularly from a performance point of view. people leave their
6:41 pm
coach. both there is a great champion. he hasn't done anything wrong. —— most there is a great champion. to create guilt by association is wrong, or implication. —— mo paragraph. he has never been found guilty of any offences, so you have to accept that. if it changes, and changes but that. if it changes, and changes but that if the situation. it is up to the public or anybody else to make judgements about anything you like. we all have opinions on things. that is fairenough. we all have opinions on things. that is fair enough. but at the moment, there is absolutely nothing that says that is anything wrong with what mo perry has done. we had a lot of statements over the last eight hours. —— ammonia spirit. salazar says he is shocked and very likely to repeal against this decision. you care athletics have also say. they will be under scrutiny, they carried out their own checks on salazar. that is right. they conducted a review in 2015 shortly
6:42 pm
after the allegations of unethical practises and anti—dumping rule violations were first aired by panorama. they cleared salazar, they gave him a clean bill of health and gave him a clean bill of health and gave echo to the green light to continue training with him in oregon. —— gave farah. the wisdom of that decision will of course come under some scrutiny for that worth considering uk athletics have a very close relationship with nike. nike i should say today gave a statement themselves and say they will be backing salazar and will support his appeal. uk athletics signed very lucrative long—term sponsorship deal extension with nike in 2017, despite the fact that that was a controversial move in light of the allegations that came two years earlier. as i said, no suggestion of any impropriety on the part of uk athletics or by farah, but i think what this will do is ensure that his
6:43 pm
judgement and uk athletics decisions at various points come under white fish scrutiny. -- under fierce scrutiny right now. thanks you dan, let's stay with this story, and head to doha, where salazar has been stripped of his accreditation at world athletics championships. our correspondent natalie pirks is there, natalie, i presume this story has dominated the agenda on day five, and a handful of athletes will have to now compete without the services of their disgraced coach. yes. there has been quite a lot of shock really looks at the lease and fellow coaches at the timing of this. obviously it is great for a journalistic point of view, but from those at the least point of view, it is really bad timing. as you said, fara is really bad timing. as you said, far a lot of athletes involved with the organ project. two of them tonight in the final. salazar personally coaches the new well 10,000 metre champion. —— oregon
6:44 pm
champion. she goes again on saturday. —— organ project. for her, it is probably very difficult autopsy spoke about it today and said she is shocked to receive the news at this time. i said it was about a period before she joined the project. shejoined in 2016. no relation to her. she said she was aware of the ongoing investigation when shejoin, but aware of the ongoing investigation when she join, but she has always had a clear conscience. we found salazar on saturday looking very relaxed here in looking on as is actually strained. now he has had his accreditation revoked and he has got out of here. he is nowhere to be seen front that we believe he has left ohio. empty seats we talked about. —— left ohio. this doping scandal, the champions could have got a lot better from the organiser point of view. but there are still six days of competitions to get some positive news out. the nasher smith will be doing her best. -- dean
6:45 pm
smith absolutely. from a british perspective, matt henson smith pulled up and the heat of the men's 400 metres, he only barely got 40 metres down the track before he pulled out. he was taken away in a wheelchair. i signed pulled out. he was taken away in a wheelchair. isigned his pulled out. he was taken away in a wheelchair. i signed his cath. pulled out. he was taken away in a wheelchair. isigned his cath. bad news for him he should have been issuing to reach the final. or at least the semi. application for the men's four by four as well. three successive world bronze medallist. big news for matt but dena, track around in ourtime. big news for matt but dena, track around in our time. in the semifinals of the women's 200 metres. we don't wish to jinx this but she looks enough to be an absolute glittering favourite to ta ke absolute glittering favourite to take gold. no shelley and fraser price to be heard. there is no sign of miller who is the outstanding 200 metre runner. —— shauna miller. because of a scheduling class. she
6:46 pm
is running for her to. daphne, the reigning world champion is out. she pulled her abductor. maria, who came bronze in the women's 100, pulled her abductor. maria, who came bronze in the women's100, also pulling out. and there that was a disqualification for stepping out. if the unit to the semis, she should be able a very clear favourite. —— if dena. after the semis tonight, the final of the men's 200 metres. adam for britain has run two seasons and the heats. he came so close in rio. one thousands of a second, three 1000th of a second from bronze. he will be desperate to get a better. he has been training. it is all about no allow tonight. the american with the bright silver hair, he says he can be even greater then the usain bolt, who already proved the same age he is better
6:47 pm
then you bolt. —— better than both. the first man to break the 19.8 second mark by times in a year. he is looking very good. possibly we could see a world record because this track has been going very well for the athletes they all has to looking quite highly. the temperature and air conditioning. fingers crossed tonight. thank you. iam fingers crossed tonight. thank you. i am pretty sure you text all sorts of things that are the action. —— i'm pretty sure you have jinxed all sorts of things. andy murray has enjoyed his biggest singles win since undergoing a second operation on his hip injanuary. he beat world number 13 matteo berrettini at the china open. as patrick gearey reports it's a victory that would have been almost unthinkable at the beginning of the year. melbourne, january. and what seemed like the beginning of the end. that is where i would like to stop. no one, not least murray himself,
6:48 pm
knew it was the start of a u—turn. since that dark room on that dark day, he has had his hip repaired, his zip restored. and has emerged as a tennis player and a man renewed. now to test the progress, matteo is a good examiner, 13th in the world, a us open semifinalist who can pounce on any weakness. he broke murray but murray broke back. resilience bread dominance in the tie—break, a point made, set soon one. matteo attacked at the start of the second, nine years younger than murray and ranked 78 places higher, he broke menacingly early, but murray responded. hauling this ball back on the surface of a man who struggled to tie his shoe laces last year now seemed a dashing flashback, the spirit ignited and a tie—break loomed. once more, matteo had a chance, twice he had set point, twice murray swatted them away. the fist clinch preceded
6:49 pm
the knockout punch. up next for murray, a match against fellow brit cameron norrie, much to look forward to, much to reflect back on. that room in melbourne was less than ten months ago. the champions league returns tonight, the second round of group matches. spurs and bayern munich are favourites to progress from their group. last season's beaten finallists and the bundesliga champions meet tonight in north london. it's been a patchy season so far for spurs but the manager thinks they are moving in the right direction. let's get more from the tottenham hotspur stadium, chris slegg is there for us a week ago tonight tottenham were dumped out of the carabao cup by lea k to dumped out of the carabao cup by leak to colchester, now they are taking on the german champions by in munich. there was some respite from a decimal start to the season on saturday. when they got that much needed win over in southhampton but there has been a worry in the side emanated from the camp if you are a sports fan. harry kane spoke at this first throw away that to kneel lead in the opening group game against olympia oak and ended up with a draw. sing the players are making
6:50 pm
the same mistakes we were making five years ago. and the manager has spoken this season of different agendas in the squad, perhaps sensing that the contract situations of key players. he didn't want to be drawn on any of that at the press conference. as he readies his team to ta ke conference. as he readies his team to take out one of the biggest names in european football. for although this by your team doesn't have the strength in the sum of its teams from the pass, that very strong team included in 2013 who won the most recent of their five european titles here in london at wembley but talent courses throughout the team. philippe coutinho looked at one stage mightjoin the spurs on loan from barcelona this armour but the former liverpool man ended up at byron, he has scored three times against tottenham and his career and mr reliable up front, robert lebron garcia, has scored five goals and his last four games. by year their
