Nick Kyrgios admitted he tested positive for cocaine, citing the incident as a “wake up call” Wednesday after feeling “helpless and alone.”

Kyrgios is confronted with a ban from tennis that ranges from three months to four years. If it’s found he did not use the drug during competition, a lower sanction could be applied.
