See the angry social media post about drug testing that Nick Kyrgios DELETED just after he put it up
Share:
Australian firebrand Nick Kyrgios has again taken aim at World No.1 Jannik Sinner over drug testing in tennis before quickly deleting his social media post. Kyrgios has been among the most vocal critics of Sinner and World No. 2 Iga Swiatek after they returned positive drug tests last year.
Sinner tested positive twice for an anabolic steroid in March, but avoided a ban because the International Tennis Integrity Agency (ITIA) determined he was not to blame. Five-time grand slam winner Swiatek tested positive to a banned substance in an out-of-competition sample last August.
The world number two was given a one-month ban by the ITIA, who accepted the test outcome was caused by a contamination to her sleeping medication. The sport was then rocked by a third doping saga when Aussie Max Purcell entered a voluntary provisional suspension after admitting to breaching the Tennis Anti-Doping Programme.
Aussie tennis star Nick Kyrgios took another very public dig at Jannik Sinner on Tuesday. Kyrgios posted about being drug tested - before deleting the post just hours later. On Tuesday morning, Kyrgios announced on X that he'd been chosen for a drug test, posting photos of the documentation alongside a sample of his urine.
'Ahhhh I got randomly drug tested again today,' Kyrgios wrote. 'That's about four times in the last two months. Blood as well. Absolutely pointless as even if you test positive you can play anyway.'. The controversial Aussie decided to delete his post shortly afterwards, but not before his followers had their say on the matter.
