Nick Kyrgios has launched a savage attack on tennis stars Jannik Sinner and Iga Swiatek for breaches of the sport's anti-doping program, labelling their conduct as 'disgusting for our sport'. The International Tennis Integrity Agency (ITIA) levelled charges against world No.1 Sinner and former world No.1 Iga Swiatek for breaches.

Sinner tested positive twice for an anabolic steroid in March, but avoided a ban because the ITIA determined he was not to blame. Swiatek also managed to accept a one-month suspension in November for testing positive to the banned substance trimetazidine.

'Two world No.1s both getting done for doping is disgusting for our sport. It's a horrible look,' Kyrgios said at his Brisbane International press conference. 'Tennis integrity right now, and everyone knows it, but no one wants to speak about it, it's awful.'.

'Someone like me ... I would never even in my entire life ever try and dope in this sport,' he said. 'Especially going through an injury like I went through, obviously there are things out there that could speed up healing, help me get back to prime level, help my recovery.
