    Farah on Trumppublished at 14:51 Greenwich Mean Time 17 February 2017

    Sir Mo Farah admits he still has travel fears over his return to America. 

    Ahead of Saturday's Birmingham Indoor Grand Prix, the four-time Olympic champion again spoke out about President Donald Trump's controversial executive order.

    The Somalia-born Farah had previously said the ban, which prevented those from Iraq, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen entering the US for 90 days or more, was "deeply troubling" although it was later clarified the exclusion would not apply to him. 

    Asked if he had concerns when he returns to the US, Farah - who lives and trains in Portland, Oregon - said: "Yes, I've had issues before. But hopefully it will be fine, I always try and look on the bright side of life."

    Gary Lineker invites you to take part in the People's Cup

    Here's one from our friends at BBC Get Inspired. I dedicate it to someone very close to me who, it is fair to say, is something of a fan of Mr Lineker - and has a life-size cardboard cut-out of him that I carried across the piazza at Media City.

    Anyway, Gary would endorse the sentiment that it’s not too late to enter this year’s FA People’s Cup - as long as you do it by the deadline anyway - and that is at midnight on Sunday. 

    Entry is completely FREE, there are categories for everyone AND you can enter either as a team or an individual player.
