Farah's Doping 

Robert Farah's doping case is still ongoing, but he Colombian tennis player had to stop all his competitive activity in the ATP circuit due to the presence of boldenone in his body, so he needs to start thinking about how he will present his case to the International Tennis Federation (ITF), which will be in charge of reviewing all the evidence that the Colombian contributes with for him to demonstrate  his innocence.

Farah is facing this situation and that will prevent him from

being present in the first Grand Slam of the season with his partner Juan Sebastián Cabal, who immediately after this news was broken, sent a supporting message to his friend. 

The Colombian Olympic Committee (COC), due to recent studies and documents issued by the Colombian Agricultural Institute (ICA), warns of the presence of the substance prohibited by the World Anti-Doping Agency (AMA) “Boldenone”, an anabolic steroid for veterinary use, which is injected to cattle in this country in order to improve meat mass, so this substance is sold freely in Colombia, under veterinary prescription, and is frequently used because it promotes a significant increase in total body weight, daily gain and feed efficiency in cattle.
