Excerpts are scheduled to appear this week in two magazines, Sports Illustrated and People. According to a publicist for publishing house Knopf, Agassi worked closely with Pulitzer Prize-winning writer J.R. Moehringer, author of "The Tender Bar.""I can't speak to addiction, but a lot of people would say that if you're using anything as an escape, you have a problem," Agassi told People in an online story. Agassi details how he snorted some of the highly addictive stimulant, felt a "tidal wave of euphoria" that led him on a manic apartment-cleaning binge and then wrote a mendacious letter to tennis officials, explaining that a contaminated drinking glass triggered the positive test.
