Tennis legend Andre Agassi admits to taking a substance known as ‘crystal meth’ in 1997. This is a type of drug and is the short form of methamphetamine. Agassi has described the experiences in his forthcoming autobiography. Portions of this book would shortly appear in a couple of sports magazines. He has had a wonderful career in tennis and has won as many as 60 singles titles, in terms of riches it works out to around $30 million – he retired from the circuits in 2006 and, married to another tennis great Steffi Graf, they have two kids. Andre is a philanthropist and the revelations come in a book that he has co-authored.
