'Out of all the players it’s been proven I’m the one getting tested the most, I think its discrimination' - Serena Williams tweets

By -

Serena Williams has said she is a victim of "discrimination" as she is the most drug tested American tennis player.  

The 23-time Grand Slam singles champion made the claim in a series of tweets on Tuesday, after doping officials visited her. 

Serena had previously expressed frustration about the volume of her tests earlier this month. "Out of all the players it's been proven I'm the one getting tested the most. Discrimination? I think so," she said.
An article published by website Deadspin in June revealed that Williams had been tested out of competition by the US Anti-Doping Agency (Usada) on five occasions in 2018. It also claimed the player was not present when Usada officials visited her home on 14 June - Williams stated that the tester showed up 12 hours earlier than the agreed time.

It was eventually marked as a "missed test" and three of those would result in a Usada doping violation.  At the time of publication of the Deadspin article, Williams had been tested more than twice as many times as other top American players male or female including US Open champion Sloane Stephens (one) and sister and multiple Grand Slam winner Venus Williams (two).

Rotimi Amaechi, minister of transportation, has fired yet another shot at former President Goodluck Jonathan. This comes less than a week after the minister said the time to stop blaming Jonathan had come. Speaking with NAN in Lagos, Amaechi said former President Olusegun Obasanjo left $65 billion in the excess crude account but it was frittered away. WHAT IS EXCESS CRUDE ACCOUNT? It is an account used to save oil revenues above an amount derived from a defined benchmark price. ECA was established in 2004. Its objective is primarily to protect planned budgets against shortfalls due to volatile crude oil prices. Amaechi said the wastage in the PDP era was alarming. "When Obasanjo was leaving, he left about 65 billion dollars in the excess crude account, but this money was frittered away and we wonder where the money is,” he said. “As at then, the price of crude oil during the President Goodluck Jonathan’s administration hovered around 140 dollars with this, they did n...

High Tech Robot On A Russian TV Show Was A Man In Suit

Russian media say a contraption presented by Russian state television as a high-tech robot was in fact a man in a commercially available robot costume. The footage was shot at a high-tech show in the city of Yaroslavl, featuring “Boris the Robot”. Forum organisers used Boris to enliven the event, having him dance to a pop song. But a crew for Russian state television apparently thought Boris was real, and used footage of him dancing and speaking as an example of Russian technological prowess. Online TJournal noted the lack of sensors, human-like movements and other discrepancies, and revealed that Boris was in fact a human clad in a costume sold under the name Alyosha by the Russian company Show Robots.
