Agassi, the great, admits to taking crystal meth( a recreational drug) in his yet to be released auto-biography titled "OPEN". Have always been a big fan of him and it does pain me to hear a revelation as shocking as this. The worst part is, i hear a new, image tarnishing story every other day. Last week it was the meth, this week it's a combination of his fake hairdo+tanking a match to avoid Boris Becker in the 1996 edition of the Australian open.
At this juncture, i must say that my reverence towards him remains unchanged. He was and still remains as one of the best athlete, the sport has ever seen. Guess its his way of letting it out. Must have been tough on him to conceal it all these years and even more to come out in the open now. For all those "See- i told you he was a bad guy" ass-@#$%^ out there, do you guys have any idea the amount of work he has does to promote the sport and help the underprivileged??..this article does justice to what he does- http://abcnews.go.com/GMA/story?id=3072006&page=1.
I am not here to justify his actions, no one can. I just hope the ATP doesn't make an issue out of this.
