Sports News: Andre Agassi Admits To Drug Use

In a new bombshell book, tennis star Andre Agassi reveals that he played a secret dangerous game off the court with a sometimes fatal opponent – crystal meth. Andre says that in the early 90s, he used the drug often: “I can’t speak to addiction, but a lot of people would say that if you’re using anything as an escape, you have a problem,” he says.

In addition to his drug use, Andre serves up quite a whopper about his other struggles in life: his hair loss, troubled marriage to Brooke Shields, and eventually finding love with current wife Steffi Graf. As for revealing his secret to the world, Andre says he has no regrets.  “I was worried for a moment, but not for long. … I wore my heart on my sleeve and my emotions were always written on my face.

Isiah Thomas blasts Magic Johnson over criticisms About Him Spreading Rumors Of Johnson’s Sexuality [News]

When he heard the criticisms from his former friend Magic Johnson in a soon-to-be-released book, Isiah Thomas said he’d had enough. And so he began to fight back.

“I’m really hurt, and I really feel taken advantage of for all these years,” said Thomas, the Hall of Fame point guard and former NBA coach and executive, most recently with the Knicks. “I’m totally blindsided by this. Every time that I’ve seen Magic, he has been friendly with me. Whenever he came to a Knick game, he was standing in the tunnel [to the locker room] with me. He and [Knicks assistant coach] Herb [Williams] and I, we would go out to dinner in New York. I didn’t know he felt this way.”

The criticisms are made by Johnson in When the Game Was Ours, which he co-wrote with Larry Bird and author Jackie MacMullan. The book, to be released on Nov. 4, tells the inside story of the most important rivalry in basketball history.

Much of their story involves Thomas, who as captain of the Detroit Pistons served as a primary threat to the championship ambitions of Bird’s Celtics and Magic’s Lakers. The book offers revelations that have stunned Thomas. Magic addresses years of rumors by finally accusing Thomas of questioning his sexuality after Johnson was diagnosed with HIV in 1991.
