Serena Williams does not see anything “random” on how the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency conducts its business. The tennis start recently advanced to the Wimbledon finals because being beat to Angelique Kerber. This was an impressive achievement considering Serena gave birth to a baby girl less than a year ago.
According to NESN, “But that achievement may have caught the eyes of the USADA, which, according to Williams, “randomly” selected her for another drug test Tuesday. Seren was not pleased with this development.
…and it’s that time of the day to get “randomly” drug tested and only test Serena. Out of all the players it’s been proven I’m the one getting tested the most. Discrimination? I think so. At least I’ll be keeping the sport clean #StayPositive

Accusing USADA od discrimination is not a small matter and Serena may have a case on her hands. Based on the USADA’s database, which was last updated July 20. Serena has been drug tested five times this year, this would be her sixth drug test. No other female American tennis player has been tested more than twice this year, according to the USADA’s database.
Serena decided to take the high road.
But I’m ready to do whatever it takes to have a clean sport so bring it on. I’m excited.
