Agassi's Legacy despite Meth.

Many of us were aware that Andre Agassi was a rebel in his early years, and during the time when he was married to Brooke Shields.  However, the fact he admitted to doing crystal meth (drugs), is not a major surprise in my opinion, since it occurred during the Brooke Shields era in his life.  The best part of Andre's career was when he picked up the pieces after getting a divorce from Shields.  His French Open win over Medvedev was a major statement, proving that a new Andre was on the rise.  Hence, his experience with meth is all part of the magical comeback which Agassi staged in the final chapter of his career (the Steffi Graf chapter, which also produced 5 Grand Slams).  So this news of meth only strengthens the Agassi comeback story, which inspired millions of sports fans throughout the world.  More to come on this subject....
