– –<\/span> The legendary athlete who was knighted by the Queen five years ago following his achievement at the Olympics, including winning double gold at London 2012 dropped the bombshell in a BBC1 documentary, <\/p>\n He said he has been using a false identity all this while and now that he has let it out, he feels free. <\/p>\n \u201cThere\u2019s something about me you don\u2019t know. It\u2019s a secret that I\u2019ve been hiding since I was a child,\u201d Mo Farah said as quoted by The Sun. <\/p>\n – –<\/span> \u201cI\u2019ve been keeping it for so long, it\u2019s been difficult because you don\u2019t want to face it. Often my kids ask questions \u2014 \u2018Dad, how come this?\u2019 And you\u2019ve always got an answer for everything, but you haven\u2019t got an answer for that. \u201cThat\u2019s the main reason in telling my story because I want to feel normal and not feel like you\u2019re holding on to something.\u201d <\/p>\n Mo Farah in the documentary revealed he was smuggled to the UK as a servant by a mystery woman and his father, who he claimed was born and raised in England before returning to Somalia to marry his mother, was actually killed in the civil war. The 39-year-old also disclosed Mo Farah was an adopted name and his real name was Hussein Abdi Kahin. <\/p>\n – –<\/span> \u201cThe hardest thing for me, was just not being honest,\u201d he said. \u201cI feel like something\u2019s been lifted off of my shoulders. <\/p>\n \u201cBut that\u2019s just me. I don\u2019t know how everyone\u2019s going to see it. Now I\u2019m starting to understand me. Me, not Mohamed.\u201d <\/p>\n
