The Cocaine Episode: Tennis Players Who Partied Hard

Cocaine, Coke, Booger Sugar, Bolivian Marching Powder. Whatever you call it, the worlds of professional tennis and all night coke binges once overlapped.

The talk of the tennis town this week is the new Bjorn Borg memoir “Heartbeats", in which he admits to using cocaine, saying it almost ruined his life many times after he quit the tour. But was his drug use really confined to his post-playing years? It was the ‘70s after all. And who else on tour has dabbled with “non-performance enhancing” drugs.

This week we dive into a pile of (metaphorical) white powder and break down who has used, who has denied and who has danced around the issue (they did coke too).

Enjoy!
