Nick Kyrgios accepted a one-month suspension for cocaine use imposed by the International Tennis Integrity Agency (ITIA) after testing positive during the ATP event in Mallorca on June 22, 2026. [^2]

Kyrgios admitted his 'huge mistake' during an interview with investigators from the International Tennis Integrity Agency (ITIA), explaining that his use of cocaine occurred socially during a night out days before he was due to play in Mallorca. [^3]

The ITIA consulted an independent scientific expert at a World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA)-accredited laboratory, who stated the explanation was consistent with the level of cocaine found in Kyrgios's sample. [^4]

The ITIA said Kyrgios was suspended for a positive test for benzoylecgonine, a cocaine metabolite, with a WADA laboratory confirming the positive result on July 17. [^5]

The ITIA classified Kyrgios' use of cocaine as having occurred outside of competition, which allowed the standard three-month suspension to be reduced to one month. [^6]
