Nick Kyrgios had a field day on X after the news of Iga Swiatek failing a doping test as the Australian labeled tennis “cooked” and just didn’t appear to buy the explanation that was provided.
On Thursday, the ITIA announced that the Polish tennis star failed a doping test in August after testing positive trimetazidine (TMZ). In the statement, it was explained that it occurred while using a melatonin medication manufactured and sold in Poland that the 23-year-old used for jet lag and sleep issues.
Following the conclusion of the investigation, it was determined that Swiatek was “at the lowest end of the range for No Significant Fault or Negligence.” Also, she was provisionally suspended for 15 days and has now accepted a one-month ban.
Reacting to the news, Kyrgios wrote on X: “HAHAHAHAHAHAHA”
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
