Serena Williams charges she's the victim of ongoing drug-testing discrimination.
The 23-time Grand Slam champion took to Twitter to reveal she's been drug-tested again—and charge anti-doping authorities with discrimination for subjecting her to more tests than competitors.

"It's that time of day to get 'randomly' drug tested and only test Serena," Williams posted on Twitter. "Out of all the players its been proven I'm the one getting tested the most. Discrimination? I think so. At least I'll be keeping the sport clean."
A Deadspin report by Laura Wagner cited the USADA data base to show Serena, who was sidelined for 10 months after giving birth to daughter Alexis Olympia, was tested five times through mid June, while US Open champion Sloane Stephens and US Open finalist Madison Keys were tested only once each in that same time period.
Venus Williams and CoCo Vandeweghe were tested twice in about the same time period.
A spokeswoman for Serena Williams told Deadspin she views the testing as “invasive and targeted.”
