Murray exonerates Agassi

The former Wimbledon champion admitted in his autobiography he failed a test for crystal meth in 1997 and then lied about it to avoid a ban.

British number one Murray, who grew up idolising Agassi, revealed his surprise at the news but offered his support to the American, saying: “I guess it’s something he has to deal with him himself. He’s entitled to say whatever he wants and I wish him the best. 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.”
