I remember when lots of Americans made similar comments about East German swimmers. And we were right.

I have always felt that Serena would not pass a chromosome test.

They used to disqualify Eastern block “women” shotputers (for example) after determining they were a “man” regardless of genitalia.

Russia (former USSR, really) knows more about female athletic hormone enhanced performance than the rest of the world put together. Maybe he is commenting from the perspective of an expert witness.

Steroids? Are you kidding, Serena Williams is 33 years old. In her twenties, she was strong but did not have man veins in her delts. She has had several odd occurrences, one in which she threatened to kill an official by jamming the ball down her m-—— f——— throat. Then there was the Wimbledon doubles where she couldn’t return a ball, couldn’t see the ball and was so spaced out she had to forfeit. Serena has several times ran to her “safe room”, locked herself in, claiming she thought it was an intruder when the official to draw blood showed up randomly at her home. Serena is a “Jehovah Witness” now which it is understood that medical things such as blood draws is forbidden. She is definitely using .

Well, you pronounce it 'sēstra' with a long e sound. I only remember because it is one of the few Russian words that sounds like its English counterparts. Russian is not an easy language.

SHE'S GOT BETTE DAVIS EYES

SHE'S GOT MICHAEL TYSON ARMS

Her hair is Harlem Black
Her muscles big as trees
Her hands can break your back
She's got Michael Tyson Arms
She'll turn her scary eyes on you
You won't have time to think twice
She's hard as Pennsylvania coal
She's got Michael Tyson Arms

And she'll tease you
And she'll squeeze you
All the better just to knee you
She's ferocious and she knows just
What it takes to make a head crush
Her muscles big as trees
She's got Michael Tyson Arms

She'll let you take her home
It whets her appetite
She'll lay you on her throne
She's got Michael Tyson Arms
She'll take a tumble on you
Roll you like you were dice
And you will come out black and blue
She's got Michael Tyson Arms

She'll expose you, when she shows you
how with only one arm she'll throw you
She's ferocious and she knows just
What it takes to make a head crush
All the boys think she's a guy
She's got Michael Tyson Arms

And she'll tease you
And she'll squeeze you
All the better just to knee you
She's ferocious and she knows just
What it takes to make a head crush
Her muscles big as trees
She's got Michael Tyson Arms
