Nick
Kyrgios fiercely defends himself after past domestic abuse allegations
resurface, triggered by his comments on doping controversies involving Iga
Swiatek and
Jannik Sinner. The Australian has been one of the most outspoken
critics of his peers in these cases.
A few
months ago, it was revealed that Sinner had failed doping tests twice, but the
ITIA decided not to suspend him, citing no fault or negligence after their
investigation. Many of his colleagues criticised what they saw as
"preferential treatment," recalling the lengthy bans other players
have faced in similar cases.
One of the
most vocal critics was Kyrgios, who repeatedly targeted the Italian on social
media. After the positive doping case of five-time Grand Slam champion Swiatek
was confirmed yesterday, the Australian once again took to social media to
react, reposting another user’s statement.
“1 month
ban 😆 It’s not even April Fool’s Day. Don’t play with us like that. Two
number 1s in the world failing drug tests in the same year is wild,” a user
posted, which Kyrgios reshared, adding: “OUR SPORT IS COOKED 😴😭.”
However,
another user responded harshly to Kyrgios. "A bigger problem in our sport
is that abusers like you are allowed to keep on playing without any punishments
at all, so shut the hell up before you say our sport is cooked.”
"Huh?
Did you read my case? ….. When a potato like you speaks without facts, that’s
called spreading misinformation…. Hahahaha be upset,” the 2022 Wimbledon
runner-up wrote.
"Our'
sport? mf, you don’t even play,” another user replied in the same post.
“Playing
the Aus Open? When’s the last time you played a professional tournament? God,
social media has given peanuts a voice… hilarious,” Kyrgios retorted.
