Now We Know Why Agassi Adopted His Mr. Clean Look

If Andre Agassi is going to insist on being a walking cliche of a crystal meth user, he could have at least disappeared for six weeks and then come back without his dignity and with HIV:

"Slim dumps a small pile of powder on the coffee table. He cuts it, snorts it. He cuts it again. I snort some. I ease back on the couch and consider the Rubicon I've just crossed," Agassi wrote.

"There is a moment of regret, followed by vast sadness. 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. I'm seized by a desperate desire to clean. I go tearing around my house, cleaning it from top to bottom. I dust the furniture. I scour the tub. I make the beds."

it's too bad about Agassi, here I thought Tennis was one of the cleaner pro sports out there... looks like horseshoes is the only one left
