ADDIS ABABA, Ethiopia — Runner Mo Farah has been accused of taking part in two separate physical altercations at a hotel in Ethiopia, as an extraordinary public feud between the four-time Olympic champion and retired distance-running great Haile Gebrselassie escalated on Thursday. He added that he was now on good terms with Farah and they had resolved their differences. “He (Farah) immediately raised a complaint to the highest level within the police force,” Farah’s representatives said in a statement. The accusations surfaced after Farah — a double Olympic champion in both the 5,000 and 10,000 metres — chose to air his grievances with Gebrselassie during a news conference on Wednesday ahead of this weekend’s London Marathon. Gebrselassie said Farah also left without paying a $3,000 hotel bill.
