Faced scrutiny relating to allegations from previous post at UKA‘The time is now right to step away from this role’The
England team doctor, Rob Chakraverty, has quit his role at the FA less than a month after his position came under scrutiny after questions were raised about an infusion given to Mo Farah during the doctor’s previous job at
UK Athletics.
Documents unearthed by a recent
BBC Panorama programme on Farah’s former coach Alberto Salazar revealed Chakraverty had expressed reservations about possible “side-effects” from an infusion of the supplement L-carnitine but went ahead and gave it to Farah before the 2014
London Marathon regardless.
