[quote=KEVIN0518,381809]Andre Agassi's autobiography, "Open" is for sale now. In this book, Agassi admitted that he used crystal methamphetamine during his career but he lied to ATP that he took the drug by accident. Also, Agassi admitted that he wore a wig during his playing days. His flowing 80s style mohawk/mullet was, in fact, a weave.

Well, I don’t know why he revealed these secrets in his autobiography. Maybe, he wants his book to be one of the best-sellers in US. And his revelation has led him into controversy. Even Federer and Nadal were disappointed at him over this matter.

Federer: "It was a shock when I heard the news. I am disappointed and I hope there are no more such cases in future.... our sport must stay clean."

Nadal: "To me it seems terrible. Why is he saying this now that he has retired? It's a way of damaging the sport that makes no sense. Cheaters must be punished and if Agassi was a cheater during his career he should have been punished."

However, there was someone who still supported him at home. Andy Roddick said: “Andre is and always will be my idol. I will judge him on how he has treated me and how he has changed the world for (the) better. To be fair, when Andre wrote the reported letter, he was well outside the top 100 and widely viewed as on the way out.”

To me, it is really a big shock too. I didn’t imagine that the guy who handed the trophy to Federer at French Open once used drug during his career. ATP should also feel ashamed since they hid this secret. Maybe, tennis is not as clean and pure as we think. As a tennis fan, we will never know how ATP operate the tournaments and some “secrets” will be hidden forever. By the way, if Federe or Nadal was found to use drugs one day, I guess that will be the biggest breaking news. I am praying this isn’t going to happen.
