Mo Farah has claimed his Great Britain team-mate Andy Vernon questioned his nationality after the double Olympic champion won European 10,000 metres gold last summer.

Farah, who beat Vernon at the European Championships, has alleged his team-mate suggested he did not deserve the title as he was not European. Farah made the claims when he was questioned about a Twitter row. Farah, who was born in Somalia before moving to Britain as a child, apologised for the spat, but said their past contributed to his frustrations boiling over.
