British No. 3 Dan Evans has revealed he failed a drugs test in April after
testing positive for cocaine.
英国排名第三的 Dan Evans 宣布四月禁药检验测出古柯碱。
Evans, who is ranked 50th in the world, claims he took the illegal substance
out of competition and for reasons "completely unrelated to tennis".
目前排名第50的他说，服用古柯碱完全与网球无关。
The 27-year-old called an impromptu press conference at the Novotel hotel in
London on Friday afternoon where he took no questions but made a statement.
在稍早于伦敦当地时间下午时召开记者会宣布此项消息。
Evans said: "This is a very difficult day for me and I wanted to come here in
person to tell you guys face to face.
"I was notified a few days ago that I failed a drugs test in April where I
tested positive for cocaine. It's really important you know this was taken out
of competition and the context was completely unrelated to tennis.
"I made a mistake and I must face up to it. I do not condone for one second to
anyone that this was acceptable behaviour.
"I've let a lot of people down - my family, my coach, my team, sponsors,
British tennis and my fans. "I can only deeply apologise from the bottom of my
heart. This has been an extremely sad and humbling experience."
Evans说：“这对我来说是艰难的一天，
我想面对面告诉你们，
我前几天被通知四月份禁药检验失败，验出有服用古柯碱。
你们知道这很重要的是，服用古柯碱跟比赛和网球无关。
我犯错，我必须面对。我不认为这是可接受的行为。
我让很多人失望了—我的家人、教练、赞助商、英国网球界及我的粉丝们。
我只能深深地对此感到抱歉。
这是很难过且令人谦逊的经验。”
The Tennis Anti-Doping Programme confirmed Evans had been charged with a
violation on June 16 and that his provisional suspension takes effect on
June 26.
网球反禁药组织宣布于6月16日通知Evans违反规定，
暂时禁赛于6月26日生效。
