Nick Kyrgios receives a one-month anti-doping ban for cocaine use after the penalty is reduced from an initial three-month default suspension. Multiple outlets report that he is cleared to return to tennis once he completes the required period and associated steps.
The reports say the decision is linked to WADA rules and his participation in an approved treatment programme. Free Malaysia Today and NDTV both note that Kyrgios enters treatment as part of the process to reduce his suspension.
Channel NewsAsia and India Today describe the ban as specifically for “social” cocaine use and state that Kyrgios is allowed to resume playing after completing the one-month sanction. Across coverage, the main differences are the framing of the cause (“social” use) and the emphasis on the timing (penalty reduction versus clearance), but all accounts align on the length of the final ban and the role of treatment in achieving it.
