LONDON (Reuters) - Mo Farah was unhappy with the way staff at the London Marathon handled a mishap with his drinks bottle, even though he went on to break the British record on Sunday.

Farah finished third with a time of two hours six minutes 21 seconds in only his second London Marathon, behind Kenya's Eliud Kipchoge who picked up his third London title in unusually warm temperatures in the English capital.
