All baldies are not badies... but agassi is both.. his wig was not a big secret, many knew about it when he refused to remove the cap while putting on a fresh shirt when playing. Lets hope his kids dont become frauds just like his dad.
Great tennis player.....Certainly when tennis was ruled by some big servers like goran ivanisevic & pete samprass....you are the one who win heart's of millions like me with amazing ground strokes...and not like serve volley game by Goran & Pete ....

When serve and volleying dominated the game at Wimbledon, Agassi won it in 1991 by simply working from the baseline. That was a real treat.

ya... playing tennis ball cricket in US, French,Australian Open & Wimbeldon with Sampras Cronje.
I disagree with Federer, Nadal and that idiotic Marat Safin. These 3 guys say Agassi needs to be punished and needs to be stripped of all his titles and prize money.
They have not achieved half of what agassi has done till now. While Federer plays for cups, plates and money. Agassi played his entire career for the sake of Charity.
He has done so much through the Andra Agassi Foundation.
Just b'cos Agassi revealed all this now, ATP and Anti Doping Body does not have the right to put charges on Agassi. Instead we need to appreciate the fact that he has revealed it otherwise it would have forever been closed chapter as long as he lived.

Agassi cannot be allowed to have a cake and eat it too. If he has cheated his competetors, he has to pay for it. By accepting his apology, people like Shoaib Akthar and Sami will only get encouraged. And many more frustrated young players will choose his route. That not good for any sport.
By revealing this truth, my respect towards Agassi as human being increased but as a sports person he had degraded himself.

But what is the need of Agassi to open his mouth at this juncture and spoil his name ? Did he thought that such a revealation will enable his autobiography to sell like hot cakes ?

Agassi is a true hero. He did not win all his titles by using Crystal Meth! What he has tried to do is clear his own consciense by accepting his shortcomings and mistakes!

See the quote- "I say I made a choice to hurt myself, destroy myself and during the year that I was involved with the horrifying drug, crystal meth, I didn't win anything, I didn't do anything, I pulled out of everything." He deserves every single title that he won
