Andre Agassi's admission of using a banned drug in 1997 should serve as a wake-up call to the ATP that they need to act now before they are shamed into it as a result of a scandal, says Dick Pound
Andre Agassi's admission of using a banned drug in 1997 should serve as a wake-up call to the ATP that they need to act now before they are shamed into it as a result of a scandal, says Dick Pound.
"It has got to the point where either these sports organisations enforce the rules or someone like congress is going to say 'we gave you a chance to manage your affairs properly and now we are going to take it over,' " said Pound, the former president of the World Anti-Doping Agency
On being told he had tested positive for the banned stimulant, Agassi said he wrote a letter 12 years ago, claiming he had taken it by accident and asking for leniency. No disciplinary action was taken.
