BIRMINGHAM, England (Reuters) - Mo Farah believes his world championship rivals will have to go back to the drawing board after he blasted his way to victory over 5,000 metres at the Birmingham Diamond League meeting on Sunday.

The Olympic 5,000 and 10,000 metres champion was shoulder-to-shoulder with Ethiopia's Yenew Alamirew, fastest man this year over the distance, on the last lap at Alexander Stadium before launching a blistering final attack for victory with 200 to go.
