I must admit I never read the Goldman bio in its entirety. Just excerpts. And articles about it; a lot of the early reviews, like the Time Magazine one, mentioned that in the opening chapter/prologue he describes either John or Yoko - can't recall which one - doing drugs in 1980. Re: sources, I seem to recall he had some of the staff (one of the maids plus Fred Seaman of course) as sources? Whose credibility another magazine, Newsweek or Rolling Stone, then argued against due to dismissal circumstances, etc.
Anyway, given John was pretty active in 1980 and heroin makes one lethargic, I'd sooner guess coke than heroine IF he was on drugs again.
Re: Yoko, I think in the Brigitte interview which to me was one of the more enlightening ones she gave she mentioned that Sean asked post Goldman biography and she said there was a relapse at some point during the house husband years, but a short one. I don't remember whether she said it was hers (as in, just hers) or theirs.

On a mellow note, this backstage video of Paul, Yoko and Sean went online, and it's lovely.
