According to WADA, since Agassi had taken the banned drug in 1997, nothing much could be done about it as it was outside the eight-year bar set by the body. However, WADA director general David Howman told Reuters yesterday: "Two things need a little bit more inquiry, if he's lied, and he's confessed he lied, so he's obviously lied and he lied under oath then I think that warrants further investigation to see whether there might be any other charges. We all know about Marion Jones, she lied to a tribunal, it can't just be one of those things you get away with." The American sprinter served a six-month prison term for lying to federal prosecutors about her drug use.
"The second issue is, he had a lawyer represent him, does his lawyer know that he was lying? "Maybe something can be done in relation to that," added Howman.
