So reagiert die Tenniswelt auf Agassis Bekenntnis
Roger Federer: “It was a shock when I heard the news. … I am disappointed and I hope there are no more such cases in future. Our sport must stay clean.”
Rafael Nadal: “Cheaters must be punished and if Agassi was a cheater during his career, he should have been punished. … To me it seems terrible. Why is he saying this now that he has retired? … It’s a way of damaging the sport that makes no sense. I believe our sport is clean and I am the first one that wants that.”
Andy Roddick: “andre is and always will be my idol. i will judge him on how he’s treated me, and how he has changed the world for better … and to be fair when andre wrote the reported letter, he was well outside the top 100 and widely viewed as on the way out”
Andy Murray: "I judge him as a tennis player; he was great, one of the best of all time. No one wants drugs in sport but everyone makes mistakes,"
Marat Safin: “One should know how to be silent, but if you are so smart you should have spoken up earlier. … You will never live to see such revelations from me. How they will escape this situation — this is the ATP’s and Agassi’s problem.”
Amer Delic: “In re to Agassi: if that’s the worst he has done than, it doesn’t take anything away from his career. He had to have the balls to come out with the truth when there was no reason other than his guilty conscience.”
Serena Williams: “I don’t even know what crystal meth is, so, you know, that’s what my reaction to it is.”
Boris Becker: If it had been made public in 1997 that Andre was using drugs, his career, and his life, would have been very different. He wouldn’t be where he is today. Maybe his career would not have survived if everyone knew that he had taken drugs, and if he was banned from the tour for a while.
Nick Bollettieri: “I don’t condone what he did. I’ve made mistakes too, but I’ve done more good than bad. … Let’s look at what Andre has done; he funds a school for 400 kids from the inner-city.
Pat Cash: Andre Agassi was a player apart from the rest. He’s always had the ability to surprise, to shock, if you like. So I was not surprised that he confessed to taking drugs this week — though I was amazed that they were of the recreational variety.
Fernando Verdasco: "He was my idol, all my life when I was a kid, and he will still be my idol," "Everyone can make mistakes. My thoughts about Andre will not change because of this."
