Sir Mo Farah has admitted he is "relieved" the Home Office has announced it has no plans to take action against him after he made the shocking revelation that he was brought to the UK illegally as a child.
The four-time Olympic champion, 39, confessed he has a lot of people to whom he "owed my life" after they gave him "strength" to talk about his past.
Farah made the sensational reveal during a BBC documentary titled The Real Mo Farah. He described how he was illegally brought to Britain from Somalia and assumed the name of another child.
He also told how his father was killed in the civil war.
Later, he was able to obtain UK citizenship via his school PE teacher Alan Watkinson, while still using the name Mohamed Farah.
While the UK Home Office has the power to legally strip individuals of their British citizenship if it is found to have been obtained illegally, they issued a statement on Tuesday insisting no action "whatsoever" would be taken against the athlete.
