In his new book, "Open", Andre Agassi admits to using crystal meth during the 1997 ATP season. According to the Times of London, Agassi wrote that his assistant, Slim, was the person who introduced him to crystal meth. Slim dumped a small pile of powder on the coffee table and Agassi wrote:
"I snort some. I ease back on the couch and consider the Rubicon I've just crossed," Agassi writes. There is a moment of regret, followed by vast sadness. Then comes a tidal wave of euphoria that sweeps away every negative thought in my head. I've never felt so alive, so hopeful - and I've never felt such energy. I'm seized by a desperate desire to clean. I go tearing around my house, cleaning it from top to bottom. I dust the furniture. I scour the tub. I make the beds."
I don't know much about crystal meth but it sounds awesome! After hearing about his drug abuse we don't know what's most impressive about Andre Agassi's career:
a) He won a junior national tournament in Vegas hungover wearing jeans
b) He was a crystal meth addict for an entire professional tennis season and bounced back to win majors
c) His one-hit-wonder Nike shoes
Let us know what you think. If you answer is b) His hair, you're probably on Elton John and Annika Sorenstam's team.
