Agassi used crystal meth

What?!! He was one of my sports heroes when I was younger even though I don't even play tennis! I loved watching him play.

Crazy. Oddly a lot of people blamed his marriage to Brooke Shields on his 2 year slump but it looks like that came at the same time he was doing meth.

How long did he use it for? ESPN wasn't very descriptive when talking about it. If it was a one time deal, then I don't think you could blame that for a two year slump.

For one of my best friends, it was. And yes, he's alive and well.

It was about the time he was awake for five days straight unstringing and restringing his tennis rackets.

Considering the mullet that Agassi rocked back in the day, can anybody be surprised that he used meth? It kind of goes with that image.

I went to read up on this and I found out that the "Mullet" he rocked was completely fake! It was a weave! HAHAAHAHA!!
