that's sad to hear.. because i was a huge Agassi fan growing up.. not too much into tennis as a whole.. but i really liked when Agassi played..

 

I was shocked when some one threw this up on a panic board yesterday. Everyone I talked to was quite surprised. ALways assumed he had something, after all we all do, but never woulda thunk this

 

Hey! Thats my bf's naaammme.. well, not his last name


Anyways, I don't know this dude.. but it is sad that he was doing meth

 

Why is it sad? Hes managed to prove meth users can still be functional and sucessful people.

 

Youths these days!! How do you kids not know who he is?

 

Accept during the years he admitted to meth use was the low point of his professional career so I'd argue not quite functional nor successful. Falling 140 places in the world tennis rankings isn't what I'd call successful


The only thing this proves is that Agassi is better than most of the world at tennis when he uses meth, but he also proves that his ability is lessen by meth use.

 

it also proves that he realized that meth did mess up his career... goes from team USA and Major wins.. to nothing..

 

Pff, did he say that meth messed up his career? Nobody plays tennis forever. I see no reason to not like the guy because of it. I kinda like the fact that he got caught and got his way out of any troubles, but then again he ratted on his friend. Never was a fan of him personally, just another human in the lime-light.

 

I'm definitely not hating on him because of it.. i'd say im still a fan.. but he doesnt play anymore..

 

pretty sure the #s prove it did at least in that year

 

tight hair

 

I was amazed to hear it. Why meth? I could see other drugs but how does someone in his circles (rich, sports, famous) end up on meth? Coke maybe heroin-but meth?

 

omg.. i remember when he cut his hair.. it was quite the shock at the time

 

agassi is the best. no matter his drug use. guy was amazing to watch.

anyone who knows tennis knows andre.

 

agreed

 

Why meth? That's what I don't understand. If I was making the money someone in a professional sport does (too much) and I decided to buy drugs with it, coke would be much higher on the list than meth.

 

yeah.. it is rather confusing
