Damn. Agassi and crystal meth.

Does Martina Hingis have a lawsuit on her hands? The WTA swept Agassi's drugs 'under the carpet' yet wanted to make a martyr out of her a couple of years ago

Why is it--in the U.S.--that the only time Tennis gets any headlines anymore is when a player comes up in a drug bust?

When she "allegedly" tested positive she was still playing, that's the distinction.

As mentioned above his career hit an all time low at this point and his short term marriage to Brooke Shields also hit the rocks. That would probably explain it, although not excuse it.

Personally I don't think sports men/woman getting caught for recreational drugs is anyway near as serious an offence as being caught for performance enhancing drugs. He's still an absolute legend if u ask me.

truly a shame.

Agassi is (was) one of the greatest ever (only him, Federer and Laver won the 4 Grand Slams in a professional circuit), but with this, certainly his legacy is not going to be the same...

Next thing we'll hear is that Monica Seles smoked crack before she gave her consent to be pierced by Günter Parche.

Shame on you Agassi!

It's a comfort to know that Tim Henman only did medicinal herbs.

No he did not he was HORRIBLE when he was using.
he play 24 matches in 1997, won zero top-level titles and was ranked 141 in the world.

Still, 141 out of 7 billion ain't bad.

I am going to go with the cynical view on these Sports Autobiographies and just dismiss this is as a blatant moneygrab.

I remember reading that Agassi and Graf lost millions in a property development deal last year. They had sunk in $20mil somewhere in Colorado in 2006, I believe, couldn't get the project off the ground, decided to throw the towel in, and were trying to sell the land for $10mil...

I'm not going to view him as a druggie, but the way he apparently trashes the sport of Tennis (and says he hates his father) seems to leave a false, rotten feeling in me when I see all the footage of him taking bows at center court...

He should not have trashed the sport that made him into something....:2 cents:

Oh, but it gets worse. :1orglaugh

Andre Agassi has reportedly revealed that the long, golden locks that he sported for most of the 1990s were a wig.

"I asked myself, 'You want to wear a toupee? On the tennis court?' I answered myself: 'What else could I do?'"

Some of us have fallen. It's the getting back up and putting it behind us that defines who we are.

Andre has proven himself one of the good guys.
