Kyrgios, on Sinner's doping case: "The integrity of tennis is terrible"
To no one's surprise, Nick Kyrgios reappears at the ATP Brisbane 2024 with new attacks towards Jannik Sinner regarding his doping case: "I was out of the sport for two years at my peak, basically when I was 28, competing at Wimbledon, the US Open. I had an injury where I could have been doing things to come back. That's not me. I'm always against that. So for me, when people say I'm disrespectful to the sport, I think someone who has tried to cheat the system, and actually hasn't done it purely on their own merits, is disrespectful in my opinion."
"I have to speak out because I don't think there are enough people doing it. I think people try to sweep it under the rug. There's no fair treatment for all players. We saw it with Max Purcell. The reason it's different is because he went to the authorities first, admitted that he had done something that was on the banned list. He said it openly. That's how it should be, rather than sweeping it under the rug. He's the world number 1, an amazing tennis player. I've never said he's not. I just think the treatment has to be fair for everyone. I think it has been handled horribly in our sport. Having two world number 1s convicted of doping is disgusting for our sport. It's horrible. The integrity of tennis right now, and everyone knows it, but no one wants to talk about it, it's horrible. It's really horrible. And it's not okay."
