Not long after the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) and Italian tennis star Jannik Skinner agreed to a three-month ban as retribution for two positive doping tests, fellow sport heavyweight Nick Kyrgios has weighed in on the development, expressing frustration with what he seems to believe is a light punishment.

"So WADA come out and say it would be a 1-2 year ban," Kyrgios wrote on X (formerly Twitter).

Fairness in tennis does not exist."
