MO Problem - Olympic Medals Don't Impress US Customs
Mo Farah - he is a double Olympic Champion - a gold medal winner in 10,000m and 5,000m running. But the US Customs is not impressed. He has been questioned by Customs on suspicion of being a terrorist - just because he was born in Somalia, though he had moved to UK when he was eight. He moved to USA last year to work at the Nike headquarters.
Despite his international fame, the long distance runner said he often gets stopped at customs because of his Somali origin. "I couldn't believe it. Because of my Somali origin, I get detained every time I come through US Customs. This time I even got my medals out to show who I am, but they wouldn't have it.", said Mo.
