Eight-time grand slam winner Andre Agassi has admitted in his new autobiography he lied to tennis authorities about his use of crystal methamphetamine. He said he used the drug in 1997 with his ex-assistant Slim.
Agassi writes about the first time he used crystal meth “Slim dumps a small pile of powder on the coffee table, He cuts it, snorts it. He cuts it again. I snort some. Then comes a tidal wave of euphoria that sweeps away every negative thought in my head. I’ve never felt so alive, so hopeful – and I’ve never felt such energy.”
Crystal meth is among the most dangerous drugs. It looks like small ice crystals and is very powerful and addictive. Its a form of the stimulant speed, which can be eaten, inhaled through the nose or injected.
Agassi at 39 year old revealed he failed a drugs test that year but escaped a ban by saying his use was accidental.
