Kyrgios Steps Back After Cocaine Scandal | Raleigh News

Nick Kyrgios, 31, admits to failing a drug test in Mallorca after testing positive for cocaine — a mistake he publicly apologized for on Instagram. Struggling with the mental and physical toll of his tennis career and confronting the possibility of retirement, Kyrgios says he’s feeling lost and isolated. This wake-up call has led him to step away from social media and public life for 28 days to focus on his well-being and family. While the ITIA is investigating and he hasn’t yet appealed, potential penalties include up to a four-year ban — though reduced sanctions may apply for substances used off-court. He vows to do the work and return stronger.
