South Florida, July 25: Serena Williams, the 23-time- Grand Slam winner, has tweeted and raised questions on the random drug tests. She also mentioned in the tweet that she is the one getting tested the most among all the players. "Out of all the players it's been proven I'm the one getting tested the most. Discrimination? I think so," said Serena.

The Tennis Anti-Doping Programme 2018, in its report mentions that "The purpose of this Tennis Anti-Doping Programme (together with any successor versions, the "Programme") is to maintain the integrity of tennis and to protect the health and rights of tennis players participating in Covered Events."

On the topic of testing, the report elaborates that "A Player must submit upon request to Testing at any time or place by or on behalf of the ITF or by or on behalf of any other Anti-Doping Organisation with Testing authority over such Player." The report goes on to say that for the purpose of avoiding any doubt, "nothing in the Programme limits the Testing authority given to the ITF and other Anti-Doping Organisations under Article 5 of the Code."

Serena Williams, this year, made it to her 10th Wimbledon final but failed to lift the Wimbledon title for the 8th time as she lost in the final to Angelique Kerber 6-3, 6-3.

Let’s keep making noise everyday in everything we do.#roadtoUSOpen," tweeted the champion on July 16.
