Kyrgios Accepts One-month Suspension From ITIA For Testing Positive For Cocaine
New Delhi: Australian tennis player Nick Kyrgios has accepted a one-month suspension under tennis’ anti-doping rules after admitting to out-of-competition cocaine use.
Kyrgios, 31, was tested positive for cocaine at an ATP Tour event in Mallorca, Spain, in June. Cocaine is prohibited in-competition and carries a provisional suspension.
As Kyrgios was provisionally suspended since August 4, his (conditional) one-month period of ineligibility is backdated to that date. Therefore, the one-month concludes September 3.
