The World Anti-Doping Agency has asked tennis to investigate Andre Agassi's admission that he took crystal meth in 1997. WADA director general David Howman would not elaborate on what he wrote in the letter sent to the ATP, but he told The Associated Press he hopes it "would bring a considered response." "Our task is to protect the clean athletes and to make sure that these sorts of things don't recur," Howman said by telephone.
