Nick Kyrgios is known for his exaggerated statements and enjoys the chaos they bring. Meanwhile, tennis faces significant doping issues, including Iga Swiatek's one-month ban for Trimetazidine and the broader implications for athletes involved in a doping scandal in China.
It strikes me that Nick Kyrgios has a raging proclivity for hyperbole; and also, that he relishes the calamity of it all.Bernard Tomic enthralling everyone with another comeback narrativeThe Polish women’s world’s No.2-ranked player and four-time French Open champion Iga Swiatek tests positive in August 2024 to a prohibited substance. Banned for a month.
That ITIA decision remains subject to an appeal by the World Anti-Doping Agency to the Court of Arbitration for Sport. The argument being the first decision constitutes an incorrect application of the universal anti-doping rules; the almost-too-high-to-jump-over bar, that an athlete bearsWhether the world’s best male tennis player exercised the degree of caution commensurate with the level of his on-court excellence, so as to trigger the availability of the defence, is incredibly questionable.
But that debate notwithstanding, the reputational carnage associated with the sport’s prepotent male player and his preeminent female counterpartbeing done for doping in 2024, and both being rapped over the knuckles with a twig, is immeasurable. It’s a shocking look for tennis.
To be distinguished from Sinner’s outcome, Battaglino couldn’t prove his arguments, based on available evidence. Also dissimilar to Sinner’s outcome, Battaglino was banned for four years. His CAS appeal failed. Next, something needs to be said about Halep, and her Instagram protestations this last week, about the injustice suffered by her; that the ITIA has “done absolutely everything to destroy” her, despite the evidence relevant to her case.
