"Nick Kyrgios being quoted as a voice of concern is laughable": Fans slam 'outrageous' headline highlighting Jannik Sinner & Iga Swiatek’s doping bans

Jannik Sinner and Iga Swiatek walked away with the men's and women's singles titles at the Wimbledon Championships. In the aftermath of the Grand Slam, the BBC published an article that quoted Nick Kyrgios as a voice of concern while highlighting the two winners’ previous doping bans, and fans were quick to show their annoyance about the piece.

Sinner tested positive for clostebol in March 2024, but news of his failed drug test was only made public in August. While the WADA eventually ruled that the Italian ‘did not intend to cheat’ he subsequently served a 90 days suspension earlier this year. On the other hand, Swiatek tested positive for trimetazidine late last year. The Pole was deemed to have ‘No Significant Fault or Negligence’ but served a one-month suspension.

At Wimbledon last week, both the tennis stars claimed their maiden trophy at the grass-court Major. In light of their victory, the BBC published an article titled ‘From drugs bans to Wimbledon champions - how did we get here?’. The piece quoted former Wimbledon finalist Nick Kyrgios as a voice of concern for tennis.

Reacting to this, one fan on X slammed the news headline, writing,

“What a piece of garbage. Kyrgios being quoted as a voice of concern for the state of tennis is laughable.”

Another X user shared a similar opinion, adding,

“This headline is outrageous 😭😭💀.”

Here is how other fans reacted to BBC highlighting Jannik Sinner and Iga Swiatek’s drug bans after their Wimbledon wins:

“Ah BBC what a good week you are having. Now spotlighting a domestic abuser like he's a valid voice of concern about integrity,” one fan wrote.

“God pls wipe out British press!” another added.

“@BBCNews your level has really gone downhill. Your title’s choice is simply disgraceful,” one X user posted.

“Not “how did we get here?” This messy ass headline 😭,” yet another fan chimed in.

Since the beginning of Jannik Sinner and Iga Swiatek's doping controversies, Nick Kyrgios has been vocal about his dissatisfaction with the way the cases have been handled. Most recently, he took a swipe at the duo's Wimbledon victory.

After the Grand Slam, Kyrgios re-shared a post on X that read ‘Congratulations to clostebol & trimetazidine’ the drugs Sinner and Swiatek had tested positive for.
