Tsitsipas and the positive test of Kyrgios for cocaine: 'Surprises me that it was only now...'

Record1 September 2026 at 10:18

Stefanos Tsitsipos reacted to the news that Nick Kyrgios tested positive for cocaine, expressing surprise that the situation had not emerged earlier. The Greek tennis player stated that the positive result surprises him "that it was only now," suggesting he might have expected something similar to happen sooner.

Tsitsipas also commented that, when he knows the truth about the case, he will not cover up anyone. This position comes following the controversy involving the Australian tennis player, who faces disciplinary sanctions related to the positive result in an anti-doping test.

The Kyrgios case raises questions about compliance with the rules on the professional tennis circuit and about the consequences the player may face. Tsitsipas, as another top player on the circuit, chose not to shy away from the issue and publicly expressed his opinion on the situation.
