Andre Agassi didn't say no to drugs...
The real question is when do we start stripping him of all of his metals and asking him to give back his prize money? Fuck what you heard about crystal meth not being a performance enhancing drug, have you ever seen anyone on that stuff??? It enhances something.
Publicist: Andre Agassi admits to using crystal meth in 1997 in forthcoming autobiography
The admission will also appear in excerpts of the book that are scheduled to appear in two magazines, Sports Illustrated and People, later this week.
"Those excerpts contain revelations about Andre's use of crystal meth when he was a tennis player," said Paul Bogaards, director of media relations at Knopf, a division of Random House.
The information was first made public on Tuesday morning via the Twitter feed of Richard Deitsch, a writer for Sports Illustrated.
"FYI: There's an off-the-charts book excerpt from Andre Agassi in the forthcoming SI: He admits to taking crystal meth during his career," said the message, posted at 10:36 a.m. and apparently removed shortly thereafter.
One of the most beloved players in the annals of the U.S. Open, Agassi retired in 2006 after 20 years in professional tennis, having won eight Grand Slam championships, 60 singles titles, and a total of $31 million. His career record was 870-274.
Agassi, 39, often made news for his brash style and high-profile romantic relationships. He is married to tennis great Steffi Graf, and they have two children. He is also an acclaimed philanthropist whose school in Las Vegas for underprivileged kids has become a national model.
In writing the book, Agassi worked closely with Pulitzer Prize-winning writer J.R. Moehringer, author of "The Tender Bar."
wow, this is a disappointment - i was under the impression that Pro Tennis is one of the cleaner sports out there
