Rahim Ememi (born 17 May 1982) is an Iranian professional cyclist, who is currently suspended from the sport due to a doping infraction.

Doping

On February 10, 2017, the Union Cycliste Internationale announced that Emami had tested positive for an Anabolic Androgenic Steroid during the 2016 Jelajah Malaysia and was provisionally suspended. Emami was handed a seven-year and six-month ban, expiring on May 24, 2024, when Emami would be 42, therefore the ban effectively ended his professional career.
