Tennis player Farah fined for gambling promotion
Robert Farah, the 31-year-old Colombian tennis player, has been fined $5,000 for his social media promotion of a gambling website. The Tennis Integrity Unit has also banned the player for three months, but he will be free to play during the three months provided there are “no further breaches.”
The Tennis Integrity Unit said in a statement that Farah posted a tweet in February which violated a regulation stating no one “shall, directly or indirectly, solicit or facilitate any other person to wager on the outcome or any other aspect of any event or any other tennis competition.”
Farah has removed the post and apologised for the post. He is currently ranked 16th in doubles.
The TIU is an initiative of the Grand Slam Board, the International Tennis Federation, the ATP and the WTA. The bodies are committed to zero tolerance to corruption in tennis.
