Summary- Andre Agassi took crystal meth knowingly but was let off sanction by claiming he was spiked. I wonder how many other governing bodies would do the same thing and choose to believe that their golden child would not be capable of such behaviour?

and that reminds me... wasn't tommeke's drinked 'spiked' as well?!

It's just like cycling in the 90s!

I'd suggest that most/many/all sports have bent the rules at some point, and will do so in the future, to cover up any transgressions by their chosen ones.

In the old days it used to be so innocent: in cricket it was well know that when a player had a 'groin strain' it was code for recovering from a bender on the town.
