Andre now admits separate amphetamine use

batz · 11-01-2009, 02:24 AM

As an attempt to enhance his performance - albeit under extreme duress from his Father.

Who did? Besides you know who.

Wow, that's quite a find for this morning's news! I think Agassi's starting to cross lines here...that he may've taken speed just before a match - knowingly - is a more serious thing.

You know, it's funny, but I'm starting to wonder if all of Agassi's little revelations (there's another one out today about his fake hairpiece) are attempts to ultimately "get back" at his father.

I would not be at all surprised. Agassi is taking something you've got to assume his father is really proud of "His son the great tennis player, career grand slam, olympic gold medalist etc" and completely destroying that image. If Tennis goes down as well, even better.

They do say there's no such thing as bad publicity.

Article from Pat Cash in the UK Times

Quote:

Suspicion among the other players had long been rife that he may have used some substances to help him become one of the fittest and strongest guys around, although there was never any proof. There were some dubious circumstances, none more than his early-morning withdrawal from the defence of his title at the 2002 Australian Open, citing a wrist injury.

Back then I remember Australian Sports Drug Agency boss John Mendoza maintaining drugs were a major issue for the sport and claiming the ATP Tour was covering up positive results. I also recall Magnus Norman, a French Open finalist, writing in a book that was only ever printed in Swedish that there were suspicions about Agassi being one of the six names that never came to light after being found to have tested positive by the ATP. Agassi had been locked away for hours with the tour hierarchy in Melbourne and a knowing look appeared on many faces in the locker room. I guess we will never know the answers to those questions, although I agree with this week’s demands that those in the ATP who know the answers owe it to the sport to finally come clean.

So this whole theory about Nadal getting a positive test before Wimbledon this year doesn't sound so stupid anymore right? But of course he just had a little "knee injury" that's all.

I don't want to believe that

And some of you all said Andre is doing all this revelations because of his father but can it be against the ATP? I mean for everyone to learn the truth behind scenes? Maybe he realized some cover-ups done recently and wanted to reveal it not by giving names but just telling his own cover-up expecting people to discover this ugly truth.

Wow, now that's taking the latest news and heading off somewhere else altogether with it! Though I would agree your proposed version of Agassi's motivations make him look a tad bit more noble than he's been looking of late...

In the meantime, here's more reaction to his speed-before-the-match admission. The highbrows are starting to get really ****ed off now:

The less you know, the more you make up. Why is Nadal singled out? Why not Monfils, Tsonga, Murray and numerous others? Oh let me guess, because apart from Murray he is the only one who can consistantly beat Herr Federer. Why not try giving Nadal some credit for dedication and hard work + talent. Your
theory and that of others, surrounding Wimbledon sound stupid because that is exactly what they are.

Fuentes case. Not one single other tennis player has ever been linked to a massive doping scandal that HAPPENS TO TAKE PLACE IN ONES OWN NATIVE COUNTRY.

Give it a break, man. You will never come up with any evidence, so why bother? You can find any imagined correlation you want in your head.

Meanwhile Fed better watch out as Nadal is coming after him.

Give it a rest, Nadal has been proven not to be on the list.
