Mo Farah has accused some policemen at Munich airport of harrassment live in his Instagram account.

From what I can see the policeman was asking him to go to his gate

I think the incident happened earlier, and when he started broadcasting on Instagram Live, they started pushing him towards his gate.

To be honest, if anyone started pushing me towards a gate, I would say that was a bit odd at the very least.

Yes the last time I was at the airport I got pushed towards the gate by a Policeman.

Totally routine.

I think that's an entirely fair question as I thought I'd missed the first few seconds of the video until I realised where it started.

Just checked his Instagram account and there’s no further suggestion. I will agree on him having some sort of chip on his shoulder.

He does seem the "don't you know who I am?" type, and has form when it comes to shouting "racism"

Ever since I read this story I always thought he was an aggresive idiot with very little little self awareness.

That story paints him as an absolute knob. He wouldnt even let a couple with a baby walk up a hill as he was using it? Deserved a pasting.

Whatever the trigger, it does look like highly unusual behaviour from the plod. Mo may have a case.

Although, he may also be trying to deflect the bad publicity he got yesterday on his London Marathon L-carnitine injection.

IME, airport plod can be proper aholes. Worst country for it that I have found is the USA, interestingly, Germany probably next, then middle East.

I am sure it a tough job at times, but some of them seem to have a real chip on their scapula. They need to realise that many people they are trying to deal with are knackered, bored, hot bothered etc and give a bit of slack here and there. But in USA, there's some proper muppets barking the orders out and expecting people to drop and give the 20.

Ive had officious security in Munich and Hamburg though, and very abrupt passport guys in Dusseldorf!

No we don’t. I for one think he’s a knob.

Just another publicity seeker, though not so keen on it in certain circumstances.
