American Andre Agassi has admitted in his new autobiography he lied to tennis authorities about his use of crystal methamphetamine to escape a ban.
Eight-time grand slam winner Agassi, who retired in 2006, said he used the drug in 1997 with ex-assistant 'Slim'.
The Association of Tennis Professionals (ATP) said it could not comment because it withdrew a doping case against him.
"There is a moment of regret, followed by vast sadness," Agassi writes about the first time he used crystal meth.
"Slim dumps a small pile of powder on the coffee table," writes Agassi in his book, which the Times is serialising.
"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."

It's the accepted explanation that gets me.

The 39-year-old revealed he failed a drugs test that year but escaped a ban by saying his use was accidental.
Agassi, who is married to former women's world number one Steffi Graf, later writes that he received a call from a doctor working for the ATP in the autumn of 1997 to inform him that he had failed a drugs test.
The Las Vegas-born American says he wrote a letter to the ATP to argue the use was accidental, blaming his former assistant Slim.
"My name, my career, everything is now on the line. Whatever I've achieved, whatever I've worked for, might soon mean nothing," Agassi writes.
"Days later I sit in a hard-backed chair, a legal pad in my lap, and write a letter to the ATP. It's filled with lies interwoven with bits of truth.
"I say Slim, whom I've since fired, is a known drug user, and that he often spikes his sodas with meth - which is true. Then I come to the central lie of the letter.
"I say that recently I drank accidentally from one of Slim's spiked sodas, unwittingly ingesting his drugs. I ask for understanding and leniency and hastily sign it: Sincerely.

I'm confused as to why he would come out with this now and ruin his legacy not to mention the implications it'll have for his sport?

He can't be that short of cash?
