Metropolitan Police have launched an investigation into Sir Mo Farah's revelation that he was trafficked into the UK illegally as a child.
The four-time Olympic champion revealed that he was brought to Britain from Somalia under the name of another of child, after his father was killed in the civil war. In a BBC documentary titled The Real Mo Farah, the 39-year-old said he needed to tell his real story 'whatever the cost' - revealing he was born Hussein Abdi Kahin.
Sir Mo said he was taken in by a woman he did not know and was kept as a domestic slave. The Met has now confirmed that a probe has been launched.
