Olympic champion Mo Farah revealed he was actually born Hussein Abdi Kahin this week after he was trafficked into the UK and allegedly forced into child slavery
Sir Mo Farah left his fans in tears after revealing his was rescued from alleged child slavery by his PE teacher.
His cousin, Harun Aden, told the Times: "We thought he had been sold, that we had lost our boy. It seems to be that what happened to him was his luck. Recalling the meeting, the teacher told Careers in Sport in 2017: "He arrived at the school a couple of weeks late because he'd broken his arm playing football in the summer holidays.
"He also explained his name wasn't Mohamed Farah. He was removed from his family, given a new identity and brought over here to do jobs and chores. That was obviously quite a shocking revelation to hear." Mr Watkinson replied: "You told me, the school knew about it, everybody knew about it. But when you went through the process of social services you stayed as Mohamed Farah. To my mind at that point the state had recognised you as Mohamed Farah.
Another said: "This is what happens when you have the right teachers and help, you can conquer the world."
