professional athletes only being tested once in a whole year is pretty laughable

5 times seems like it should be the standard for athletes at the highest level

I agree, which is why I want to see the numbers of how many times people get tested per year.

The article says that other players were tested once,or not at all.
It's in the OP.

Which other players? Literally every one?

"For comparison's sake, Roger Federer - the number one seed on the men's side - he said in a press conference before Wimbledon that he's been tested seven times already this year. "

Conflicting information it seems.

"
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."

Player testing history from the source:
https://www.usada.org/testing/results/athlete-test-history/

The trend seems to be:
Male players are tested more frequently
Female players are barely tested at all
Players over 30 are tested far more often

Hypothesis:
Players over 30 are tested more often, Serena falls into this category.
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
