There is always "chatter" about a winner in the category of Armstrong and Williams (older and still winning) -- I don't really follow tennis anymore, but those that do point out that Williams has a history of avoiding the "out of competition" testing. They all test clean right after games for the most part - they are looking for the PED use between competitions and those are the ones that Ms Serena both avoids and complains about.

Could be something to all this -- read the original article that Leftist HuffPo links to and the discussion and article are way different than HuffPo. Read both the article and the comments - they also post the testing schedules for players. She is tested more than many because of her age, her longevity, her body and her history. All the top winners are tested about the same number of times. Keep in mind that it is the Out of Competition that she is specifically complaining about (and dodging) ...... and the big question is WHY? How difficult is it to pee in a cup?? Why would any Top Athlete want to make a big stink and advertise that they are dodging a pee cup?? None of that makes much sense.

Anti-Doping Agent and Serena Williams |Deadspin

The only interest in this thread is probably with sports fans - otherwise, it just another Leftist Racist-Racist-Racist-Ractist ...... RANT. That is one big tattered card that has gone on the way of "cried wolf too much". Ignored Now --- thanks Obama

^^^brilliant answer. If it's random then sometimes people are going to get tested an odd number of times or not.

+1 for the great post.

P.S. I tried to find it but dang...not reading 60+ pages of lawyer talk and the news media is dumber than my bunghole and just reports that she *feels* discrimination but doesn't expaling the testing.

Basically the media and people in general are too lazy to investigate....so I'm too lazy to draw an opinion.

Education first. Conclusion second.

If you don't know how the testing is done then you are not informed on the topic and just posted the equivalent of:

How to make brownies: Insert pan at 6000 degrees for 1 minute....delicious!

Depends on how big a testosterone shot she’s taking per week I guess.

If you have some free time this link is to the Anti-Doping Programm. Not very interesting but maybe it will clear some things up.

Not every female tennis player in built like they might have testicles.

I'll file your call for the equalized testing of female tennis players that don't appear they might have testicles away with airport diaper searches of elderly wheelchair-bound flyers.

Whoa ... whoa... seriously?

Black people are built differently in case you haven't noticed. Some of the comments here are ridiculous.

Is Maria Sharapova built like a "linebacker"? NO... But he was suspended for drug use for two years. So let's not pretend that the shape of one's body means anything here.

The Tour de France concludes on Sunday in Paris. It is 3 weeks of grueling bicycle racing. The winners in each category will be tested for steroid use. [and all white guys btw]

Nope!

It's just skin pigmentation!

Differences in body shape and composition baced on race would open the door to differences in cranial capacity based on race, and we all know that isn't possible.
