Serena fury at surprise doping test

SERENA WILLIAMS believes she is being aggressively targeted by US anti-doping authorities before her return to Wimbledon. The seven-times champion feels she has been singled out since her comeback from childbirth, to the extent that a visit to her house this month saw the official leave without a sample. USADA say it does not count as a missed test as it was a random visit. Williams complained to USADA and the WTA about the frequency of the tests. The incident only emerged after website Deadspin was tipped off by someone who overheard WTA chief executive Steve Simon discussing it on his phone at San Francisco airport. Williams has been tested five times by USADA in 2018, and is likely to have been tested by the specific tennis anti-doping programme.
