Double Olympic and World champion Mo Farah has said that he is yet to decide whether to compete in the 2014 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow.

According to the BBC, Farah expressed that competing in Glasgow would be a bonus but it was not on his list.

The British athlete won gold in the 5,000m and 10,000m at London 2012 and then the 2013 World Championships.

He said that he would wait until after he runs in April's London Marathon and if he comes off from the event healthy, he would then make a decision.

Meanwhile, Farah, who was born in Somalia but moved to Britain when he was eight years old, also said he was 'proud' to represent his country.
