The 31-year-old Australian was beaten by Novak Djokovic in the 2022 singles final. He\u2019s now ranked 919th after a series of injuries.<\/p>\n

Kyrgios posted details of the case on social media.<\/p>\n

\u201cI recently failed a drug test in Mallorca after testing positive for cocaine,\u201d he wrote, citing a lower level tournament in June.<\/p>\n

\u201cI made a huge mistake and take full responsibility for it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Cocaine is banned as a doping substance during competitions, with lower sanctions possible when used away from events.<\/p>\n

Kyrgios said he had difficulties coming to terms with being near the end of his career after two years of injuries.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt times I\u2019ve felt helpless and alone. None of that excuses what I did,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Kyrgios got a wild card to play doubles at Wimbledon last month and\u00a0lost in the first round\u00a0with partner Alexander Bublik.<\/p>\n

The International Tennis Integrity Agency will prosecute the case and said the player\u2019s sample was taken on June 22 and the positive test was confirmed on July 17, after Kyrgios played at Wimbledon.<\/p>\n

A mandatory provisional suspension was applied on Aug. 4 and has not been appealed by Kyrgios, the ITIA added.<\/p>\n
