Controversial coach Jama Aden, who was named in the recent row between Sir Mo Farah and Haile Gebrselassie, has resurfaced at the Doha Diamond League meet - and refuted claims from the Ethiopian that he was at the root of the furious argument with Farah.

The most serious of Gebrselassie's disputed allegations last month was that his clash with Farah originated when the Brit took exception to Aden being refused entry to Gebrselassie's hotel near Addis Ababa.

Gebrselassie dated that alleged episode as being during his time as Ethiopian Athletics Federation president between November 2016 and November 2018 - after Aden's arrest during a major doping raid in Spain in June 2016.
