Agassi and Clemens

[Don Wassall]

Andre Agassi is coming out with a new book that details, among other things, his use of crystal meth for a while, which he lied about to the ATP when he tested positive for it.

Martina Navratilova professes to be "shocked" that Agassi lied, comparing him to Roger Clemens:

"Shocking," Navratilova said Thursday from Sarasota, Fla., in a phone interview. "Not as much shock that he did it as shock he lied about it and didn't own up to it. He's up there with Roger Clemens, as far as I'm concerned. He owned up to it [in the book], but it doesn't help now."

Why compare him to Clemens? Clemens has never admitted lying about using steroids nor has it been proven he used them; he has consistently and adamently said that he hasn't. Why not choose Alex Rodriguez or David Ortiz, big stars who did admit to lying about using steroids? Or Barry Bonds, who was charged with perjury after denying using steroiods? Or Sammy Sosa or Rafael Palmiero, who wereexposed as liars after denying they juiced?Of course we know why. It's the acceptable thing to do with no downside risk.

Who cares what some perv lesbian says about you? She's really the one with the ISSUES. Your point is valid though.

Don its typical liberal group think. Trash white stars and compare indiscretions of whites to other whites, even if there is no truth in it. The lib media will not correct or challenge Martina's assertions.

Same sh.t day in and day out with these people.

Why could he, er, she compare Aggassi to Larence Taylor or Darryl Strawberry. This f..king female dog."Up there with Roger Clemens" please.

The Clemens comparison is ridiculous. Shows where her mind is. However I blame Agassi for this anyway. What an idiot! Why do people write tell-all books that describe embarassing stuff about themselves? Who cares keep it to yourself, everyone has skeletons anyway. Why would Agassi trash his legacy like this? There's a lot of sh!t going on today that I just don't get.

Good point about trashing his legacy. Andre is seen as one of the ambassadors of tennis and why mess around with that image. Didn't he do a camera commercial early on in his career saying "image is everything". How does this admission help his image unless he wants street cred for some reason?

 

[Westside]

Maybe some of Andre's investments are not panning out or he is hurting for cash. Seems to me he wants to maximize books sales. "Image is Everyting" be damned. In the words of a typical affelet, "I needs to get paid."

Meanwhile, Martin Nad trot allota is taking some of the same pro-test steroids and hormones that Clemens and other Male athletes do!

They write the tell-all rags to rake in the dough.

MarNADtroluva is a typical hardcore lefty (as most of her fellow sodomites). No surprise she didn't make comparisons to the many dishonest, unethical "affletes".

I am pretty sure if Agassi was compared to Bonds or another black Sharpton would be protesting.
