Sir Mo Farah has claimed he was the victim of ‘racial harassment’ by Munich Airport security personnel in a video uploaded to his social media accounts.
The four-time British Olympic gold medallist recorded his exchange with an airport official in which he described his treatment as ‘pure harassment’ and ‘unbelievable’.
The 47-second clip was streamed live on Farah’s Instagram account and then also uploaded onto his Twitter account with the caption: ‘Sad to see racial harassment in this day and age. 2018…!!! #airport #germany’
Farah was passing through the German airport as he returned to his training camp in Ethiopia. Although not mentioned in the video, Farah’s representatives said the incident occurred at Munich Airport. The clip begins with Farah apparently describing an unpleasant experience as he passed through security.
