Novak Djokovic Reaffirms Claims of Poisoning During 2022 Australian Detention

The tennis star alleges high levels of heavy metals in his system after his stay in a Melbourne hotel, while Nick Kyrgios criticizes Australia's treatment of Djokovic during the visa saga.

Novak Djokovic claims he was 'poisoned' by food served during his 2022 detention in a Melbourne hotel, citing high levels of lead and mercury discovered later.
The Serbian tennis star was deported from Australia in 2022 over his unvaccinated status, a decision upheld by the Federal Court at the time.
Djokovic described the deportation as politically motivated and not solely tied to COVID-19 vaccination policies, reiterating his stance in a recent GQ interview.
Nick Kyrgios has publicly supported Djokovic, stating that Australia treated him poorly during the visa controversy, which made global headlines.
Prime Minister Anthony Albanese criticized the previous government's handling of Djokovic's detention, including denying him access to a religious minister.
