British No. 3 Dan Evans has revealed he failed a drugs test in April after
testing positive for cocaine.

英國排名第三的 Dan Evans 宣佈四月禁藥檢驗測出古柯鹼。

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的他說，服用古柯鹼完全與網球無關。

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.

在稍早於倫敦當地時間下午時召開記者會宣佈此項消息。

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說：「這對我來說是艱難的一天，
我想面對面告訴你們，
我前幾天被通知四月份禁藥檢驗失敗，驗出有服用古柯鹼。

你們知道這很重要的是，服用古柯鹼跟比賽和網球無關。

我犯錯，我必須面對。我不認為這是可接受的行為。

我讓很多人失望了—我的家人、教練、贊助商、英國網球界及我的粉絲們。

我只能深深地對此感到抱歉。
這是很難過且令人謙遜的經驗。」

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.

網球反禁藥組織宣佈於6月16日通知Evans違反規定，
暫時禁賽於6月26日生效。
