Former World No 1 tennis star Simona Halep has hit out at Nick Kyrgios following the Australian’s positive cocaine test bombshell.
Kyrgios, 31, revealed he has been provisionally suspended from the sport after he submitted a sample while playing in Mallorca on June 22 that contained benzoylecgonine, a substance found in the class A drug.
Kyrgios said he took ‘full responsibility’ for his mistake and was ‘deeply disappointed’ in himself.
The Australian has been suspended since August 4, meaning he cannot play in, coach at, or attend any professional men’s or women’s tournament, including Grand Slams such as Wimbledon.
Kyrgios has staunchly opposed drug use
