This is something, I mean, especially going through an injury like I went through, obviously there are things out there that could speed up healing, help me get back to prime level, help my recovery. There are so many things out there that are prohibited in our sport that I could have been doing to get me back quicker.” Kyrgios was quoted as saying by the Brisbane Press.
