Nick Kyrgios slams sport over drug testing, Jannik Sinner failed drug test, sanction, International Tennis Integrity Agency, WADA, Australian Open
Nick Kyrgios has lashed out at what he claims is the lenient treatment of world number 1 Italian Jannik Sinner over a failed drugs test, saying integrity in tennis was appalling.
Sinner tested positive twice for the banned steroid clostebol in March. However, the International Tennis Integrity Agency (ITIA) accepted his argument that the steroid entered his system as a result of contamination by his physiotherapist and decided not to suspend him.
The World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) subsequently appealed the decision to the Court of Arbitration for Sport, with an award pending.
Kyrgios has been scathing about the ITIA decision in the past and showed no hesitation during a press conference ahead of his return to action at the Brisbane International after an 18-month injury layoff.
Tennis integrity at the moment, and everyone knows it, but no one wants to talk about it – it's terrible, the Australian said.
It's actually terrible and it's not okay. I know people don't like it when I just speak out about things, be honest about things.
For a kid who grew up playing tennis, I enjoyed the competition, I enjoyed playing.
I can get emotional, I can throw a racket, but that's nothing compared to cheating and taking performance enhancing drugs.
Asked whether he accused Sinner of cheating, Kyrgios told journalists to look at the facts.
He also failed two doping tests at different times, Kyrgios said. It wasn't one after the other – it was a different time frame, so I mean, if you think that's how it got into his system, if you think that's how it happened, then.
But I mean, if he didn't do anything wrong, why did they take away his prize money and points? Apparently they found something wrong with that. With former women's world number one Iga Swiatek also banned in 2024 for a doping offence, Kyrgios said the sport's image was being tarnished.
“I just think it's being handled horribly in our sport,” he said. The ITIA accepted that Swiatek's offense was not intentional and she was only given a one-month ban.
Two world number ones both being fined for doping is disgusting for our sport. It looks terrible, said Kyrgios, who has been out of the sport since suffering knee and wrist injuries at the 2022 US Open.
Kyrgios has undergone wrist reconstruction and said that while it was a success, he was unsure how the wrist would handle tournament play.
“I'm just not going to take anything for granted,” he said.
I'm going to go there and play. It will literally become a symptomatic injury day by day.
If I play a long match, jam it properly, who knows how the match will go the next day. That's the kind of injury it is. Kyrgios' comeback begins against rising French star Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard.
