TWO of Farah's former Great Britain team-mates have taken to Twitter to voice their support for the track star.
Olympic heptathlon medallist Kelly Sotherton wrote: "All these people who think it's easy not to miss tests. You do it for a year and see how you get on. It's not as easy as you all suggest."
And former sprinter Craig Pickering posted:
"Five years ago, an athlete missed a drugs test. Only now is this non-news, news. Plenty of athletes miss tests.
Double Olympic champion Farah missed two drugs tests in the build up to the 2012 Games, according to reports in the Daily Mail.
It is alleged that Farah, who won gold in the 5,000 and 10,000 metres in London, appeared to miss his first test early in 2010 with another following, and a third missed appointment could have resulted in a four-year ban.
The 32-year-old is currently in the spotlight in the the wake of doping allegations made by the BBC's Panorama programme against his coach Alberto Salazar and training partner Galen Rupp.
Both men have denied the claims, while Farah has not been accused of doing anything illegal.
"I'm not condoning athletes missing tests. Missing a test does not equal taking drugs."
