Nick Kyrgios suspended after testing positive for cocaine

Australian tennis player Nick Kyrgios has been provisionally suspended since August 4 after testing positive for cocaine. The 31-year-old apologized to his fans, saying he'd "made a huge mistake."

Former Wimbledon runner-up Nick Kyrgios has been provisionally suspended from tennis after failing a doping test, the International Tennis Integrity Agency (ITIA) announced on Wednesday.

The 31-year-old Australian gave a sample at an ATP tournament in Mallorca in June that tested positive for benzoylecgonine, a metabolite of cocaine, the ITIA said.

"I recently failed a drug test in Mallorca after testing positive for cocaine. I made ​a huge mistake and I take full responsibility for it," Kyrgios said ​on social media.

"I'm sorry to my fans, my family, my sponsors and everyone close to me. Above all, I'm sorry to the kids who follow me. I know the example this sets and I'm deeply in myself."
