" According to the USADA database, Sloane Stephens was tested once; Venus Williams was tested twice; Madison Keys was tested once; Coco Vandeweghe was tested twice; Danielle Collins was tested zero times; Alison Riske was tested zero times; Bernarda Pera was tested zero times; and Taylor Townsend was tested zero times. Williams was also tested more than any of the top five American male players."

Jon Isner (age 33): tested 3 times Bob Bryan (age 40): tested 4 times Federer (age 36): allegedly tested 7 times Serena Williams (age 36): tested 5 times Conclusion: not race related --- Psn: beastlytoast Left-handed fire-slapsies leave me feeling confused about life. - Merydia ...
