Agassi's Book - 網球 Tennis

http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/columns/story?columnist=reilly_rick&id=4601145

Agassi與普立茲獎得主合作的自傳"Open"即將上市，
目前揭露的片段，包括Agassi承認在97年間服用crystal meth，
並向ATP說謊等內幕，感覺是相當真實的一本回憶錄。

以下則是ITF針對此事件的聲明：

“The ITF is surprised and disappointed by the remarks made by Andre Agassi in
his biography admitting substance abuse in 1997. Such comments in no way
reflect the fact that the Tennis Anti-Doping Programme is currently regarded as
one of the most rigorous and comprehensive anti-doping programmes in sport. The
events in question occurred before the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) was
founded in 1999 and during the formative years of anti-doping in tennis when
the programme was managed by individual governing bodies. The ITF first signed
the WADA Code in 2004, and the Tennis Anti-Doping Programme undergoes constant
review and improvement. In 2006, the ITF assumed responsibility for
administration of the anti-doping programme on behalf of the ATP and then, in
2007, also on behalf of the Sony Ericsson WTA Tour. The ITF, Grand Slams, ATP
and Sony Ericsson WTA Tour are now unified in their efforts to keep tennis free
of drug use, and this should not be overshadowed by an incident that took place
over 12 years ago. The statements by Mr. Agassi do, however, provide
confirmation that a tough Anti-Doping Programme is needed.”
