London - Andre Agassi's crystal meth confession will not spark a probe into the 1997 case due to the fact the 39-year-old has retired from the game, ATP boss Adam Helfant said Friday. 'I have appointed an outside law firm to go through the records of 1997 to make sure I know all the facts,' said the former shoe chief who took over the tennis body in January. He added nothing more would be forthcoming as Agassi is no longer an active player. Helfant said that he got a call from the eight-time Grand Slam winner, with the executive expressing his distaste over the long-ago matter. 'We had a very frank discussion,' Helfant said. 'I obviously expressed disappointment. 'We've learned a lot in 12 years. All of our players want a clean sport, we have their total support.' At the time, the ATP took no further action against Agassi, who lied in a letter, saying he had unwillingly drunk a spiked drink.
