ITF exempts Farah from the ban after testing positive in the doping test
Robert Farah, the 33-year-old Colombian tennis star and Wimbledon and US Open doubles champion, has been exempted from a ban by the International Tennis Federation, even though he tested positive for banned substances in an anti-doping test.
