Tennis star Nick Kyrgios slammed players who were suspended during the season for doping-related violations on Saturday as the Brisbanae International began.

The ITIA determined that Sinner wasn’t to blame after he had tested positive for an anabolic steroid in March. Swiatek accepted a one-month suspension in November after she had tested positive for trimetazidine.

Kyrgios said the violations were "disgusting for our sport."

"Two world No.1s both getting done for doping is disgusting for our sport. It’s a horrible look," the Aussie star said. "Tennis integrity right now, and everyone knows it, but no one wants to speak about it, it’s awful."

He went on to say he would never try to use a banned substance.
