In a new bombshell book, tennis star Andre Agassi reveals that he played a secret dangerous game off the court with a sometimes fatal opponent – crystal meth. Andre says that in the early 90s, he used the drug often: “I can’t speak to addiction, but a lot of people would say that if you’re using anything as an escape, you have a problem,” he says.
In addition to his drug use, Andre serves up quite a whopper about his other struggles in life: his hair loss, troubled marriage to Brooke Shields, and eventually finding love with current wife Steffi Graf. As for revealing his secret to the world, Andre says he has no regrets. “I was worried for a moment, but not for long. … I wore my heart on my sleeve and my emotions were always written on my face. I was actually excited about telling the world the whole story,” he says. [Source: People; Photo: Getty Images]

This blew me away! I still am shocked that this occured in the game of Tennis!! Were te Tennis players not drug tested then? I know that most all employment did drug testing back then. These people are almostif not actually are the highest paid atheletes in the world of sports. still cannot get over the fact that Andre did crystal meth and played Tennis lik he did. It is a wonder he didn’t have a heart attack!!!
This is a shocking revelation. One wonders how a bright young man, a world class athlete at the top of his game with the world as his oyster, would choose to poison himself with Meth. It boggles the mind.
