"This is a very difficult day for me and I wanted to come here in person to tell you guys face to face," Evans said at a London Hotel on Friday where he took no questions but made a statement. "I was notified a few days ago that I failed a drugs test in April where I tested positive for cocaine. Martina Hingis tested positive for cocaine at Wimbledon in 2007 and was subsequently suspended for two years. Birmingham-born Evans withdrew from last week's Nottingham Open, this week's Wimbledon warm-up event at Queen's Club and next week's Eastbourne tournament.
