I wonder if there are different rules for different athletes. How many superstars in the NFL ever get suspended for failing — or missing — a drug test?

...but Williams is an extreme abuser of PEDs... She *is* rather manly looking...but has she ever been caught using drugs? I would think that players of her caliber would be tested periodically.

Yeah.
German athletes would never use PEDs!
Especially not female ones.
Lol.

Kerber may have won the match, but Williams remains the bigger man.

Of course that was the old DDR, and not the Bundesrepublik.

Charles: Yes. So these blancmanges, blancmange-shaped creatures come from the planet Skyron in the Galaxy of Andromeda. They order 48,000,000 kilts from a Scottish menswear shop ... turn the population of England into Scotsmen (well known as the worst tennis-playing nation on Earth) thus leaving England empty during Wimbledon fortnight! Empty during Wimbledon fortnight ... what’s more the papers are full of reports of blancmanges appearing on tennis courts up and down the country - practising. This can only mean one thing!

Voice Over and caption on sceeen: ‘THEY MEAN TO WIN WIMBLEDON’
Charles: They mean to win Wimbledon! (Jarring chord)

If they do/did, I don’t know how she is still around and how Martina Navratilova did so well in the 80s.
To: FewsOrange
Well that’s fine, I suppose.
But I’ll remain a non-fan.

Deliberately dodging the drug test should be an automatic disqualification.

Serena has used her religion, Jehoviah Witness, as an excuse to avoid some types of testing.

It won’t matter. Soon male tennis players will start “self-identifying” as women and take all the titles anyway. PEDs won’t matter.

Usually want American athletes to win international events, but Williams is an extreme abuser of PEDs and one of the biggest cheaters in sports.
A quick Google search shows some rumors but no evidence of any PED usage by Williams. I'm not going to take any joy in some German woman defeating an American who happens to be the best female tennis player in history - one coming back from the birth of her first child.
