Tennis Champ Serena Williams is curious to know why she’s tested for doping far more often than her peers.
The star athlete took questions from media during a press conference on Sunday to discuss her upcoming match against the Netherlands’ Arantxa Rus at the Wimbledon tournament in London, per Huff Post.
When one reporter asked for her comment about a Deadspin article that revealed she is drug tested more often than other male or female players, Williams had this to say:
“I never knew that I was tested so much more than everyone else,” the seven-time Wimbledon champion said. “Until I read that article I didn’t realize it was such a discrepancy with me as well as against the other players that they listed, at least the American players — both male and female.”
Deadspin’s report said Williams has been tested five times this year ― more than double the number of tests for other top American women’s tennis players.
“It would be impossible for me to not feel some kind of way about that,” said Williams, 36. “I just found it quite interesting.”
