Four-time Olympic gold medalist Mo Farah revealed he was the victim of human trafficking as a child.
"For years I just kept blocking it out," he told the BBC's Ashitha Nagesh ahead of the airing of a documentary featuring Farah on Wednesday. "But you can only block it out for so long."
Farah said he was taken from his family's home in Somaliland to stay with another family in Djibouti. He was then flown to the United Kingdom when he was around eight or nine with a woman he didn't know. Born Hussein Abdi Kahin, he also had his name changed.
