Agassi drug inquiries dropped

ROME - Tennis officials have closed the book on Andre Agassi's drug revelations.

International Tennis Federation (ITF) president Francesco Ricci Bitti said on Wednesday that despite appeals from the World Anti-Doping Agency, the statute of limitations in the case expired long ago and no retroactive punishment was possible.

In Agassi's recently published autobiography, Open, he wrote he took crystal meth in 1997 and lied to the ATP to avoid a suspension after failing a doping test.
