It is so sad to hear these two players and their reactions. They are ending one man's career and destroying the career of a young woman! It is really upsetting! The ATP and powers-that-be are truly working overtime to cover their own asses. I mean, did they even release a real statement addressing these latest developments? Or are they planning to pretend Agassi's confession never happened and they are just hoping to wait it out? They are going overboard with their punishments to try and appease and overcompensate. Too little, too late. They are only making matters worse. The whole system...how they are handling the players...it's disgusting! I have a bad feeling this is just the beginning. I'm so p***ed right now that I can't even enjoy the fact that I've created a pop culture moment! >:( *grits teeth* "Agassi!" *sigh* This is really out of hand.

I love it too! I think from now one, whenever things don't work out for me, I'm going to grit my teeth like Seinfeld and say: "Agassi". hehe, I just tried it a minute ago and my brother looked at me like I was nuts. Cool! ********* On a serious note, all of this is really staring to bug me. *sigh* A year is most definitely cruel. No doubt we are already seeing the effect of Agassi's confession and the ATP's cover up on the current tour. LOL! I love it too!

Agassi! A year does seem a bit harsh, especially with Malisse more than likely on his way out anyway. hahaha love the Seinfeld reference! Agassi!

Plus, Wickmayer failed to report her whereabouts. Malisse actually missed a drug test. Why are they being punished in the same way? Regardless, a year's suspension is most definitely overkill. ***** Do you know that scene in 'Seinfeld' when he says: "Newman". Yeah, only this time, I say: "Agassi". There is NO doubt that they are using these two as an example. Is it just me, or does the punishment for both of these players NOT fit the crime?
