Kyrgios admits 'huge mistake' after failing test for cocaine
Sports · The Horizon Wire

This story has significance for readers across Kenya and beyond.

Nick Kyrgios gestures as he and Thanasi Kokkinakis of Australia play in their men's doubles match against Matthew Ebden of Australia and Rajeev Ram of the US at the Brisbane International tennis tournament in Brisbane on January 4, 2026.

Kyrgios has been suspended after testing positive for cocaine, the International Tennis Integrity Agency (ITIA) said on August 19, 2026. "On 17 July 2026, a World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) accredited laboratory confirmed the presence of benzoylecgonine, a metabolite of cocaine," the ITIA said.
