The four-time Olympic champion revealed on Monday that he had been illegally smuggled into the UK under a false name.
Sir Mo Farah says he is "relieved" the Home Office has no plans to take action against him after he revealed that he was illegally smuggled into the UK as a child.
Farah said there were a number of people he "owed my life to" who had given him the strength to talk about his past. His school PE teacher, Alan Watkinson, later helped him obtain UK citizenship when the then-teenage Farah revealed he had been smuggled into the country.
Asked if the Home Office would be taking any action against Farah, he said: “Absolutely not. I think the Home Office has been very clear that no action whatsoever will be taken against Sir Mo and that is in line with the guidance.”
