Is Agassi really coming clean ?

Reading some comments in blogs worlwide, we found many asking a relevant question : "is Agassi really coming clean with his autobiography ?".

Some think, with reasons, that his belated revelations tarnish his reputation.

Extract from a  New-York Times sports article reviewing the flops of 2009 with one comment from French  editor Jean-Philippe Leclair
