ATP chairman Adam Helfant has confirmed the governing body will not be reinvestigating Andre Agassi's positive drugs test in 1997 and cannot impose retrospective sanctions.
The American stunned the tennis world with the revelation in his recent autobiography he failed a test for crystal meth and then lied about how it came to be in his body to avoid a ban.
The ATP have also come in for criticism, including from the World Anti-Doping Agency, and Helfant, who revealed he had had a "very frank conversation" with the former world number one, admitted the episode is "regrettable".
Speaking ahead of the Barclays ATP World Tour Finals, which begin at the O2 in London on Sunday, he said: "There has been a lot of speculation about whether the ATP would reopen the case but we cannot do that because Agassi's no longer playing on the tour,"
