The man whose name was given to the four-time Olympic champion ekes out a meagre existence for himself in a poor suburb of the Turkish city of Istanbul.While his namesake was knighted for his triumphs on the track in 2017 and enjoys a luxury lifestyle, Mohamed Farah was recently forced to move out of a shabby shared room when a migrant charity could no longer afford the £2.70-a-day rent.The 39-year-old spends much of his day killing time in a park, where he puffs on cigarettes, or sitting by the road eating plates of food given by sympathetic Turkish friends.
