Check out Yannick Noah
Thursday 14th February 2013 | Emily
Yannick Noah is known for being a French former tennis player. During his career, he also continued an amazing music career, which blossomed after his retirement. He is also the co-founder of an organisation for under-privileged children, we respect you, Yannick. He turned professional in 1977, and won his first top-level singles title in 1978 in Manila.
He notably admitted smoking weed before matches saying that amphetamines were the real problem in tennis as they were performance enhancing drugs. I think we're with you on that one.
