Australian tennis player Nick Kyrgios has accepted a one-month ban for testing positive for cocaine.
He submitted a sample at the Mallorca Open back in June, which was found to contain a metabolite of cocaine.
He had been provisionally suspended from the 4th of August pending an investigation by the International Tennis Integrity Agency.
His one-month ban ended yesterday.
