Personal life

His father is a retired tennis player (not recognized at professional level).[8] His sister is a former professional tennis playerRomy Farah. In 2010, Robert became a professional tennis player.

Controversies

[edit]

In July 2018, Farah was given a suspended three months ban and fined £3,800 for promoting a gambling website on his Twitter account. Farah would only serve the suspension if there were further breaches of the Tennis Anti-Corruption Program.[9]

In October 2019, Farah was tested positive for the anabolic steroid Boldenone. He was provisionally suspended from official tournaments from 14 January 2020 and did not compete at the2020 Australian Open.[10] Farah argued that he had ingested Boldenone from contaminated Colombian meat and the ITF chose not to ban him, holding that he "bears no fault or negligence for the violation".[11]
