  • LOL u can't play tennis on meth, you would overheat and pass out.

  • Slim is not his coach!

  • Ok Ana it's not called endorphins, its called serotonin, and abusing ecstasy can deplete your serotonin levels temporarily, then they go back to normal but they are never the same.

  • actually when andre did meth he was down in the dumps. he was ranked like #140s. in the world. losing consecutive 1st rounds

  • This is total bullshit. Neither Met nor MDMA (ecstasy) work by releasing endorphins. IF Ecstasy was legal, people wouldn't have to resort to much more toxic drugs. Unlike Met, Ecstasy is actually a great empathogen. Peace.

  • only ana kasparian is good about this show!

  • You guys sound retarded..

  • That girl is a bitch

  • u jerks, the guy being honest. u never undrestand ppl going trough pain. dont fuckn laugh at someone's problem!

  • why do they dismiss the idea of feeling euphoria on meth. Why do you think people take it? Saying that drugs only have downsides is the sort of crap that makes nobody believe you, and people want to try them.

  • The Young Turks hate white people!!!

  • you dont even know how to say his name what a bunch of fucking morons these ppl arefuckig idiots

  • 2:49

    Hygienic people? Just saying.

  • Comment removed

  • Just lost a lot of respect for these guys...

  • the book is an amazing read!

  • In this case a drug that didn't help him to play better. As a precession sport, tennis requires a lot of coordination

  • turkish swine

  • Crystal Meth allowed Agassi to beat Sampras. He's the number one endorser for it LULZ.

  • @fonzifan Crystal Meth isn't a performance enhancing drug.

  • @PattleProductions Take meth and you could play tennis ALL DAY LONG and hardly break a sweat. I don't think very many tennis players take it but it could be one reason why agassi never seemed to get tired when he was winning his grand slam tourneys. I remember when baseball players used to take stuff that was similar to meth. It helps in baseball too. You can see the ball much better when you're batting... another reason why Agassi had such a GREAT return of serve.

  • @NationalMan

    1. You're stupid as fuck, nobody in their right mind would take meth before a match to improve their performance because there's a comedown.

    2. If you fucking read his book, you would know that agassi was often tired and hurting between his matches,

    3. You're retard piece of shit, the reason agassi had a good serve was because he practiced it, not because he took meth. Read the book then know what you're talking about dumb fuck

  • @Ugerflagle Fuck you asshole!!!! You piece of shit mother fucker!!!! Don't come in here yelling at me! I've been around sports all my life and I've known about people using speed to help them play sports for longer amounts of time, so go fuck yourself, you idiot! You think everything you read in a book is true? You're fucking stupid if you do!! Agassi would never admit it even if he did use before a match. ur stupid to believe everything you read! besides, Agassi never got tired in his matches.

  • @NationalMan What a stupid comment.

  • @Megajanitor nice reply. you must be an Andre Agassi dick sucker. Your hero did meth, so what. He's not the first or last to take speed before playing in some type of sporting event.

  • @NationalMan Lol, how gay are you? I go on you and the first thing you say is "dick sucker." Experienced, aren't you?

  • @Megajanitor atleast I don't have a thing for middle aged bald-headed men that wear earrings. I prefer women.

  • @NationalMan Uh huh. Jsyk, you backed the dude up that rooted for Sampras.

    And Sampras isn't a girl.

    If you're gonna go childish on me, at least have some consistency. I'm immune to 4th grade insults.

  • @Megajanitor My anus hurts stop penetrating it, gayboy.

  • @NationalMan ...

    trololololololololol

  • these seem like a bunch of people who have nothing else to do

  • ....but these guys think horrific drugs should be legal.....so wtf is this dialogue about the reality that they fucking rot your brain? Often they make people more apt to commit rape and murder, etc., so tell me why meth should be legal to buy at the local drug store again?

  • He can do whatever he wants, but the fact that the ATP covered it up is what is disturbing. Having said that, I'm glad he got better in a year's time or a bit later than that, but it it speaks volumes of what popularity and money can do in sports. It doesn't matter so much if it is performance enhancing or not, if it is banned and if he lied, then it looks bad on the ATP's resume for that....I don't know, I guess this might be a small blip, so I guess most us won't take it too seriously.

  • Slim wasn't his manager, he was just an assistant

  • what a stupid reporter...they are worse than paparazzy...

  • these people are fucking assholes.

  • These two are stupid and obviously didnt read the book and know nothing about the hard life he had and his crazy dad and his being trapped in a cage. Obviously Agassi felt he had no choice in his life. To him it was the rebelling agaisnt nick and his father that was tanatalizing NOT the actual drug. He just wanted a way out of a life that he hated and thought maybe if he did this it would show he has choices and would show nich and his dad that they couldn't control him. He was saying "fuck u."

  • @VerdascoFan I love your articulate hypothesis of why Andre Agassi chose to use crystal meth. Very compelling LOL.

  • @sdnm86 lol thx... ;P

  • The girl is a fucking mentally challenged frog who has lived it's whole life in a pile of rotten defecation and thinks it's extreemyl smart even though it know nothing and should the fuck up and go to it's pile of shit swamp.

  • idiots who no nothing about tennis are talking about it

  • This two people are pathetic, need to read the whole thing to give their own argument, this is just not acceptable, Agassi is an example in many things even besides playing tennis, one little mistake that he had under the conditions and the situation we was living in that moment can happend to any person in the world, even to these two clowns

  • My God, you guys are idiot!. The point in Andre's book isn't that he could get away with anything, it is an admition of a moment of weakness. Of course YOU would never take crystal meth, but I seriously doubt you ever faced the pressure that Agassi faced, driven by an overbearing father from the age of 4 to become a world beater. Agassi is a great human, and he details all his highs and lows in his book. Seriously, do you think your lame YouTube channel puts you in the same class?

  • @Steve99jp66 Oh, he was under a lot of pressure?. That's makes his drug use all right then.

    Speaking of which, I'm in a bit of a pressure cooker myself right now. Perhaps I should turn to drugs too. Andre's always been a great role model.

  • He doesnt blame anything on his former manager. These two are morons.

  • @niall29 Slim wasn't even his manager.. . he was just a helper. The only reason Andre hired slim because he felt for him and wanted to help him.

  • Andre Agassi is a true role model. In addition to being one of the greatest tennis players of all time, Agassi has lived a life beyond reproach. He's also regarded as one of the most humble, gracious and self-effacing guys to ever play the game.

    That's what I love most about him. He's always shunned the spotlight. He's never been the flamboyant character that Pete Sampras was. Pete's favorite mantra was, "Look at me,me, me." Andre was the antithesis of that. He let his racquet do the talking.

  • @scottdavis0676 What about "image is everything"?

  • @TheRamstoss I was being facetious. Pete was the one who shunned the spotlight, and Andre was more of a flamboyant, charismatic individual. Personally I preferred Pete's style of play and temperament. Agassi was too self-absorbed for my liking.

    . I know sometimes people can't detect sarcasm just by reading somebody else's words, but that is what I was shooting for LOL. I was hoping somebody would call me out. Looks like it was you.

  • @scottdavis0676, all sarcasm aside, I'd honestly say that while Agassi isn't "above reproach" (no one is) that all in all he's led an exemplary life. Admittedly, his confession is convenient on several counts: it'll generate books sales, he's retired and can't be punished for his crimes, his legacy as one of the all-time greats is secure and this self-deprecating, soul-searching semi-auto-biography only further enhances an image that could have been irreparably tarnished had he been caught.

  • @scottdavis0676 And when did Sampras ever whore for attention like you suggest?

  • One thing these guys are really good at is taking almost all the stories they comment way out of context and blowing them out of proportion, especially those who make an American appear in a negative light.

  • his taking drugs is taken out of context... u guys obviously haven't read the whole thing

  • rave seen? lol please like uve gone to one?

  • This fat guy is fucking annoying

  • crystalmeth <3 nomz

  • I guess neither of these two read the book before they decided to discuss it? For one thing, the guy asks why anyone would do meth when they are on top of the world and had everything they every wanted. Agassi clearly states he hated the game of tennis, and was in a very dark point of his life. Not exactly "on top of the world, and everything he ever wanted." There are a lot of books I have never read, and therefore I don"t voice an opinion on them, but I guess that's just me.

  • You guys are nobs!!

  • get a life!!

  • ahhhhhhhhhhhh

  • lol i unintentionally started singing lets get high with them

  • Look at wikipedia : AFFECT (psychology) to understand with what nationalist Turks like to work with in War.

    Turkish Psychological Warfare in Combat or Close Combat (making the unprepared enemy weak by shocking unhuman crazyness ) is the most strong part of turkish nationalist war-art.

    Even small children and turkish wifes are educated to this kind of Fighting.

    This very important hint is written by : CIA and FBI

    Be prepared for this insane and confusing Combat-Style of Turks !

  • @Verfassungsschutzer War? this vidos is about drugs... war?

  • LMAO.....I always knew there was more to a bathroom break....when he did that during his matches!!

  • More specifically than "endorphins", meth releases dopamine, noradrenaline and serotonin.

  • if you read the rest of the book, you might not sound like a couple of nitwits.

  • @royeeeee

    HEY, they are not knitwits !!!

    ANYONE CAN SEE THOSE CLOTHES ARE STORE-BOUGHT POLYESTER!!!!

  • Who hasn't used meth? I mean, come on. If you say that you haven't you're filthy liar.

  • What a boring thing. Sorry, I wasn't able to watch it all, prefiero quedarme con la duda de lo que iban a decir.

  • How did these two idiots get their own show?!? They never have anything interesting to say. The only reason I ever watch their stuff is just to see what pointless crap they come up with next. What makes them think they have anything but driveI to offer to the world. How can they even call their show 'young turks', what just cuz the mans Turkish? There's nothing challenging or revolutionary this show. What an insult.

  • All they do is regurgitate the same mind numbing sludge you read in any celebrity magazine or tabloid newspaper.

    That guy with a rubik's cube for a head really needs to shut up now. He is so dumb, and hes some old man you'd think he would have something of substance and wisdom to say but he has about as much depth as a porno.

    [-_-]

  • one of my favorite excerpt from his book OPEN : "You know everything you need to know about people when you see their faces at the moments of your greatest triumph."

  • I am such a fan of his and am so proud of him for admitting this.

  • endorphins= excercise i aint even gonna get started u fucking idiots misunformation spreadin mother fuckeas keep it up on ur viscious cylcle bullsmit an ima call the cops

  • idk what u guys use besides pot but its horribly obvious and the guy man he looks like hes been for 19 weeks

  • dude has millions of dollars and he can't find a decent coke connect? wtf is he doing.

  • agreed golfinman7, these two reporters bore me to tears and they are both so dumb.... don't give lectures to people on stuff thats common sense. we know crystal meth is bad.... we took health class..... if you want to be successful reporters in this story.... tell me more about why andre took the drugs and not the negatives....

  • Yup, I usually just skip their talk and go to the footage, then close the vid. To all the self righteous haters: ANYONE can get messed up so watch your ass. When you fuck up you'll want compassion, understanding and help right? Check yourself bf you wreck yourself.

  • Why would he want the world to know he did drugs years after the fact? He must have a book out, him and Mc kenzie Phillips should go on a sympathy tour with the worlds smallest violin that only hits the sad notes

  • what a douche bag

  • yea no one gives a shit, he gave money away all the time. personal drug use only affects only the person doing it.

  • I guess we should all agree with these two scientists ... and cherish their opinions since they know sooo much about tennis as well as what Agassi has done with his charitable foundation. No wonder people hate them

  • well, im glad you didnt spiral out of control, and im sure you were able to advise your children about it....

  • I try not to judge people because I/you don't know what they've gone through. These people reporting, along with many others, just want to have something to talk about and someone to come down on. Who cares? i don't care that he used drugs. he didn't do it regularly and got off of it is what matters to me. What about the $100,000,000 + he raised for kids?! Drug addicts get off drugs and tell of their lives and encourage others and we applaud them, but we come down on AAgassi?? Right,

  • These two are a couple of ignorant fucks, why are they reporting about anything

  • Another inaccuracy in your story Cenk, this time from YOU.

    At the time Agassi claims to have used meth, he WASN'T on top of the world. He was injured and his world ranking had fallen to its lowest point since he had begun playing professionally.

    Sure #141 in the world still seems like the top of the world to us, but it's all relative.

    When you view it from that perspective, that Agassi had sunk to a career low and was injured, it's not nearly as contemptible as you make it sound.

  • Btw Cenk, your co-reporter got one thing wrong.

    Ecstasy does not trigger the release of endorphins. It triggers the release of seratonin, dopamine and norepinephrine into the synapses of the brain.

    None of these neurotransmitters is an endorphin. Endorphins are opioid polypeptide compounds, somewhat analogous to opiates in that they produce a pain-free "high" (e.g., "runner's high"), released from the pituitary gland into the brain.

    Not the same thing at all. Very poor reporting.

  • well, im glad you never fell into the abyss yourself.....maybe what i mean is that a celebrity writing about it AFTER the fact, doesnt seem like it would be all that helpful to anyone, but then again, maybe some people it would...

  • Meth is poison motherfuckers. You see Andre and think he made it thru alright, I oughta try it. Come to my town and see these mummies walking around rags to ruthless, messed up toothless and you'll think twice.

  • Recently, I have noticed that comments in Youtube are arranged from last to first. I like to read them the other way round from first to last. Does any one know how I can do that?

  • The setting is under Text Comments, Options. You can pick first to last.

  • i love playing tennis and now i love doing meth its so fun my game is top notch now. all of my friends call me ace. it is cool. i wish i had a manager to give me some GAK though for free.

  • i'm only gonna try meth once i'm not gonna be like that guy

  • OK, idiots listen up. The young turks are doing pieces on this bullshit, when we had another terrorist attack at Fort Hood. Yea , I said it, Terrorist attack. The young turks wont even touch that story with a 10 foot pole because it is just reflects against Muslims the wrong way. Actually they probably would take the stance everyone else is, SOCIETY CAUSED HIM TO BE A HOMICIDAL MANIAC. All I have to say is FUCK THE TURKS. They cover bullshit stories and are completely one sided(left).

  • have fun doing drugs when ur old n then ur life falls apart. tis why u do it when ur a kid

  • you're a faggot

  • no disrepect intended, if you can learn from other peoples drug use, more power to you...

  • i think people learn from their own fuckups, not anyone elses......or no one would ever have kids....

  • what next? hes shootin up and having butt love with wayne brady?

  • the young turks are fucking morons. Go back to Berkeley you tree hugging socialist loving fags.

  • @colinf94404 hahahahah hel yeah

  • im going to strangle the degree soccer players

  • fuck turks

  • Comment removed

  • can ANY celebrity NOT reveal every fuckup they ever did??

  • send me a message wid ur email 4 an invite 2 a hella kewl website, lockerz!!!

  • at least he's honest

    his body, his decisions

  • it's crazy that Agassi wore a wig back in the day. that's more shocking to me than the meth use

  • that birdnest didnt fool anyone, especially when his cueball bald brother used to sit in the stands...and then suddenly started wearing a hairpiece himself...

  • meth is awesome

  • wtf? dana white does meth?

  • WHO GIVES A SHIT!

  • lool i know rihgt

  • Andre could SH&T out his NECK

    who cares

  • you know both of these people have done meth cause they know way too much of what it does too you lol

  • Are you joking? Or are you stupid?

  • why is it it seems that pro's in any sport always come clean when they retire...i mean its obvious they would ruin thier career if they admited it but they dont..they wait till they are safe and then seek pitty some how..all the sudden they become moral...perhaps he should hand over all the money and so forth he won while on it..then he would get my respect..

  • ppl just need to mind their own business, this man accomplished more than any of you ever will in life, so if he wants to tweak out then let em.

  • agassi maradona phelps messi federer la mayoria de la N F L de la liga de beisball el negro este jamaikino q

  • you have to get rid of this girl. you too are not a good mach at all.

  • Not only does meth use up all your dopamine, but it permanantly damages the organ that produces Dopamine.

  • WHO DOESN'T IN AMERICA ?

  • andre agassi inspired me to do meth....

  • fuck you

  • @Ivan951 so u probably look very fucked up dont ya

  • @Ivan951 Have you tried meth?

  • every book that comes out now has something controversial, or "explosive",

    Barabar's Walters, revealed affair with senator

    mackenzie phillips, she revealed incestuous relationship with her father,

    Agassi, reveals drug use,

  • cause you ain't a princess.

  • Agassi was always a dumbell and apparently still is. What will he say next?

  • interesting...but i'm gonna go to a more legitimate [less annoying and naive] source of information if i wanna listen to what Meth does.

  • In the Uk , we call cocaine Gak, not meth. Why? Because you get a blocked up nose if you do too much.

  • in the US, coke is yak, ice is meth

  • true but they said gak, which is meth. and out of every slang word in the country for meth and coke you dont think there are 2 that are interchangeable? come on.

  • ya but dont they call meth gack not yack yack is coke

  • oh igeuss that 1 guy said it alredy

  • He blamed his manager? No way man, it's his own fault, his manager didn't force him, he offered it and he took it, he's an adult man, he should know better. And it could've messed up his carriere so wtf was he thinking.

  • what the hell ? you answered your own question dude.

  • Does this guy think that he is that smart and I am that stupid that he must point that out for me?

    It looks that way.

    Ironically he is showing that he is the stupid one.

    Did he notice what I did just here?

    I did it again, twice.

    He's not adding anything to the conversation in the comments about the subject.

    He's not here to talk about the subject, he's here to agrue with people.

    With him I mean brenthoser99.

    Hi, what's up.

  • Absolutely maddening that the sports bodies even concern themselves with recreational drugs. That's just extra moral policing, let the courts deal with it. The punishment is the player taking drugs.

  • Agassi doesn't deserve to be punished. He's a grown man. He's no slave. Who can say what he can put into his body? To be so presumptuous...sad really.

  • I don't care if it happened 12 years ago what Agassi did was wrong and the ATP's blatant cover up was wrong too. It is both morally wrong what he did and for the sport's governing body to have let it go without punishment was wrong too. His whole career to me is now ruined and that reputation his PA team worked hard to build has been shattered! I'm sure some of his opponents will now feel cheated too! IF he's disclosed this to sell more copies of his autobiography it's sickening me even more!

  • He copped to the meth use but did he cop to the wig use?

  • All said and done, Agassi needs to be punished, but to a lesser degree because of his forthright confession , thereby making his conscience free from guilty. I wonder how ITF will take action against him, now that he has retired for good. Surprisingly, Roddick remains his strong supporter. What is his logic?

  • Man, these guys suck.

    As for Agassi, I have more respect for him now that he's admitted to this even though he didn't have to. He could have just written a typical sports autobiography talking about how great he is and how he could have won more but underachieved. Instead he bares his soul. Anyone who criticizes him is a buffoon. During the year that he says he was taking this drug, he won practically nothing, dropped to #141 in the world, and everyone said he was finished.

  • Meth is a pretty harsh drug. I've seen many friends drop from that drug. I have seen friends die, go to prison, or just lose their minds. I think if he just snorted it a few times it is not a big deal. It is the people who smoke it and get hooked that are cooked and hopeless.

  • Endorphins? I think Ana needs to take her biology and chemistry classes again.

  • I always thought Agassi was a wimp;blame someone else for your drug use..how lame can you get????

  • You get endorphins from exercise not pills or meth. Pills give you serotonin and meth gives you dopamine. It's annoying how Anna lectures us on drugs when she clearly knows nothing about them.

  • crystal meth

  • endorphins, endorphins, endorphins!

  • I'm a recovery alcoholic, and non-addicts have no idea of the struggles I go through every day...this video is very frustrating.

  • We go through

  • mmm...these guys don't know the first thing about addiction...

  • and I assume you do?

  • I know that depressed withdrawal feeling... it is not fun. Sure the high is fun as hell and I miss it, but the after effects is just so bad it isn't worth it.

  • fuck this shit, nobody cared about the dude, so... he comes out about crap to make money off the resulting book? only an idiot would buy his damn book. fuck him, go do more meth i don't care.

  • look in the responses! I posted a video of Kanye getting slapped by Spike Jonze

  • yeah too bad is fake...i wish it was real tho'...

  • Such shoddy fucking presenters, GET IT RIGHT then upload, it's hardly live.

  • Meth make you look like the living dead. Watch the video "Faces of Meth".

  • i look like a living dead after i had x 25 doses of pure london lsd-25 , without warning, on the beach - powerful dark trance was on the background. But is had a very deep trip.

  • Agassi is a fucking asshole.

  • AGASSI IS STILL TWEEKING!!!!

  • andre is trying to be honest. so what the fuck. I hate it when people try to be honest than everyone gives them crap for it. (not tyt but the cable news media is guilty of that)

  • 3:00 I guess that explains internet porn right there... damn porn addiction.

  • lol love how cenk said expolsive (hope spelling correct)

  • its not about endorphines. its about seratonin.

  • I think he should be stripped of his titles. His book whoredom is a disgrace.

  • these whores will do anything to sell their books, etc. i would expect this kind of thing from magic johnson. oh, say it ain't so 'dre. he prolly got his good drugs from barbra, that kabbalistic slut. or, maybe, from his child porn wife, brook shields. he prolly blames his problems on sexual abuse by nick bolletieri. lol. pathetic. like this sorry ass show. out.

  • i meant brooke.  sorry.
