Agassi Drug Admission
Tennis great Andre Agassi admits to using crystal meth and lying about it to save his career in his new book, Open.
He started out as tennis’ bad boy, but even the fans that embraced his outlaw image were surprised to hear Andre Agassi’s recent admission that he regularly used crystal meth in the late ‘90s. The truth came out in the A-level athlete’s new memoir, Open.
The 39-year-old told People magazine that he was excited to finally get the secret out in the open. “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," Agassi said.
When the celeb mag asked Agassi if he was ever addicted to crystal meth, he didn’t label himself an addict, but he did tell People, “if you're using anything as an escape, you have a problem.”
In addition to details of his personal life, the book details his use of crystal meth as well as the lie he told to get around a positive drug test that could have been the end of his professional tennis career.
