Nick Kyrgios, a 31-year-old Australian tennis player, is eligible to return to tennis after accepting a one-month ban for testing positive for cocaine. ^[1] Journalist Ben Rothenberg reported that the International Tennis Integrity Agency (ITIA) began an investigation into several leading tennis players for attending a party organized by bookmaker DraftKings before the start of the US Open. ^[2] Kyrgios could have faced a maximum three-month ban, but it was reduced to one month after he entered a treatment programme. ^[3] The International Tennis Integrity Agency (ITIA) provisionally suspended Kyrgios on August 4 after a sample submitted during the Mallorca Open in June was found to contain benzoylecgonine, a metabolite of cocaine. ^[4] The ITIA accepted Kyrgios's admission that he used cocaine outside of competition after consulting with an independent expert. ^[5] Attendees at the party included Aryna Sabalenka, Mirra Andreeva, Anna Kalinskaya, Coco Gauff, Taylor Fritz, Serena Williams, Grigor Dimitrov and other tennis stars. ^[6] Tennis rules prohibit players from having bookmakers as sponsors and from receiving fees from them. ^[7] The party was organized by nightclub owner David Grutman and funded by bookmaker DraftKings, and was held in western Manhattan. ^[8]
