Kyrgios Completes One-Month Ban for Cocaine
Australian tennis player Nick Kyrgios can compete in tournaments again after his one-month ban for a positive cocaine test expired. The former Wimbledon finalist accepted the punishment after providing a sample with confirmed presence of a substance associated with cocaine use in June during a tournament on the Spanish island of Mallorca. teraz.sk ↗
The International Tennis Integrity Agency stated that Kyrgios was provisionally suspended on August 4. Since the ban lasted one month, his competition suspension has already ended. The thirty-one-year-old Australian must also undergo rehabilitation treatment and must also meet the required condition related to providing proof of it before returning to competition. idnes.cz ↗
The investigation concluded that cocaine use was non-competitive. A lower penalty rate therefore applied to the case. According to published information, it was an incident connected with a nightclub on Mallorca, not use of the substance with the aim of enhancing athletic performance.
Kyrgios accepted responsibility for his actions after the ban was announced. Although he is now formally eligible to return to competitive tennis, it remains uncertain when and whether he will actually make his return. The case comes at a time when professional tennis continues to carefully distinguish between competitive doping and non-competitive use of prohibited substances. sport.sk ↗
