Mo Farah has been praised as an inspirational figure by friends and politicians after the Olympic medallist revealed he was trafficked into Britain under the name of another child as a nine-year-old, and forced into domestic servitude.
In an interview on BBC’s Radio 4 Today, fellow Olympian Brendan Foster, a friend of Farah’s who has previously described him as Britain’s “greatest sportsman”, said he was “absolutely staggered” by the news.
