Kyrgios faces suspension over cocaine test
The International Tennis Integrity Agency has suspended Australian tennis player Nick Kyrgios (31 years old) after his doping test during the ATP tournament in Mallorca, Spain, on June 22 revealed the presence of cocaine. Laboratory results showed benzoylecgonine, a metabolite of cocaine. He has been suspended starting August 4. Kyrgios fully admitted responsibility and apologized to his fans and family, citing recurrent injuries and a drop in his world ranking to 919, despite winning seven titles and reaching as high as No. 13 in 2016, with notable success on grass courts, including reaching the Wimbledon final in 2022. This incident marks a blow to his athletic career, which has been characterized by encounters against the "Big Four," amidst increasing issues with injuries and external disciplinary concerns. The agency confirmed that the suspension is in effect.
