Kyrgios Set to Return After One-Month Cocaine Suspension

Nick Kyrgios has been cleared to return to professional tennis after accepting a one-month ban for testing positive for cocaine from a Mallorca Open sample. He admitted using cocaine at a Magaluf nightclub in June, and after consulting an independent expert the ITIA reduced the potential three-month ban to one month once he entered a treatment program. The ban ends on September 3, and he forfeits €6,570 in prize money. The controversy comes amid years of injuries and off-court incidents, with his ranking having fallen to 918.
