Tennis: Nick Kyrgios cleared to play after accepting and serving a one-month suspension

# Tennis: Australian Nick Kyrgios has accepted ‌and served a reduced, one-month ban after testing positive ‌for cocaine. The 31-year-old was provisionally suspended early last month after a sample he submitted during the Mallorca Open in Spain in June was found to contain a metabolite of cocaine. Kyrgios admitted to using cocaine at a nightclub. He entered into a treatment programme approved by the International Tennis Integrity Agency to ​reduce the three-month default suspension. Kyrgios’ one-month ban ended yesterday.
