Mo Farah Admits to Using Someone Else's Passport

Somali national Mohamed Farah has revealed the truth about his connection to British runner Sir Mo Farah. The latter was brought into the United Kingdom using Mohamed Farah's real passport at the age of 5. "I came to the UK under another person's name, but it was the only way to survive," Farah stated. He recounted that his father was killed in Somalia, and his mother decided to send him to the UK to save him from the civil war. The boy took on the name of his mother's nephew, which he still uses today. This story has caused a great stir in British society, but the athlete continues his successful career and is a four-time Olympic champion.
