This is something, I mean, especially going through an injury like I went through, obviously there are things out there that could speed up healing, help me get back to prime level, help my recovery. There are so many things out there that are prohibited in our sport that I could have been doing to get me back quicker,” Kyrgios was quoted as saying by Sports.Info.
I have to be outspoken about it: Nick Kyrgios on Jannik Sinner doping case
Speaking further, Nick Kyrgios also justified him being outspoken on the infamous doping case as no one has been talking about it. “Yeah, I mean, I have to be outspoken about it because I don't think there's enough people that are speaking about it. I think people are trying to sweep it under the rug and saying that about the amount and all this,” he said.
“He's No. 1 in the world, he is an amazing tennis player. I never said he's not. I just think the treatment has to be fair for everyone. I just think that it's been handled horrifically in our sport. Two world No. 1s both getting done for doping is disgusting for our sport. It's a horrible look,” Kyrgios further added.
