LONDON, UK: In an interview with the BBC, the UK public broadcasting corporation, British distance runner Mohamed “Mo” Farah, CBE, has disclosed that he missed this year’s Commonwealth Games in July because an infected tooth and a subsequent stomach ailment forced him to be hospitalised for four days ahead of the event.
The 31-year-old Somali-born athlete told the BBC that he was left with an infection after having a tooth extracted. After the extraction, he continued training for the Commonwealth Games and collapsed. He was then airlifted to a hospital with suspected heart problems. The suspicion could not be confirmed however.
Only a few weeks after the incident, Farah had fully recovered, and won the 10,000- and the 5,000-metre races during the 2014 European Athletics Championships, which was held from 12 to 17 August in Zurich in Switzerland.
Farah is the current 10,000- and 5,000-metre Olympic, World and European champion.
