Serena Williams
March 10th, 2009 filed in Tennis
Serena Williams is an American professional tennis player who is ranked World No. 1 by the Women’s Tennis Association, having now held that ranking on four different occasions. She is the current US Open and Australian Open singles champion and has won 20 Grand Slam titles: ten in singles, eight in women’s doubles, and two in mixed doubles. There is something else you may notice about Serena, she is huge! Is she Cheating, or Beating?
Recently our friends over at The World of Isaac pointed out just how large Serena has gotten in recent years:
I swear in college I lifted like five times a week and never looked like this. Sure, I may have mixed in a 12 beer night with some cocktails but that shouldn’t have hindered me that much. Right?
And I don’t care that she is tensing every muscle in her body. She looks like Sammy Sosa circa 1998 in this picture. Maybe they should start roid testing in women’s tennis. I’m guessing Serena and Amelie Mauresmo might show some statistical testosterone anomalies.

Serena Williams is CHEATing
Chester Cheater
A picture is worth a thousand words, and that picture screams CHEATER! I’m not going to say that Serena isn’t a good tennis player, because she is, and has been for a long time. But her career certainly slowed for awhile, and now has made a sudden resurgence. What is the difference? Only about 10 inches on those biceps. It may not necessarily be steroids, but she is on something. According to a recent Sports Illustrated article, the WADA and ITF have joined forces to create a new drug testing program for Tennis. Who spoke out against it? Serena Williams :
“I think it’s too much. It’s very invasive. … Basically, they show up at your house on any day. I jump from city to city all the time. First of all, I never tell people where I am because I like to do my own thing.”
You keep doing your “own thing” Serena, but don’t be surprised when it gets you suspended from Tennis.

Serena Williams is BEATing her competition
Billy Beater
Serena Williams has been one of the best women’s tennis players in the world for a period of 10 years. She has never failed a drug test, despite being tested for several years under existing drug testing policies. Just because a woman lifts some weights and gets large, it is ok to accuse her of cheating? Please provide some proof Chester before making your allegations, and bringing down yet another strong role model.
So what do you think? Does Serena Williams CHEAT, or BEAT?

why does everything have to be racist? Not ONE person has mentioned her race. I guess if there’s a problem you can always call everyone a racist and that solves it!!!! What a joke.

The USTA’s drug testing program is a joke. Just check out this article that sums it up nicely. Frankly, he was too kind, because every insider knows that Serena and Venus both avoid testing like the plague. This despite the fact that you would almost have to be trying to get caught using performance enhancing drugs in tennis. Too bad Serena chose steroids, because it is just too obvious. Also, playing that race card doesn’t work anymore. Anyone who tries to say this is racist is simply showing how incredibly stupid they are.

Why is her head and face so large. Compare her visage and head to hers from ‘99 and one wonders. They say doping causes your head circumference to increase, and bone mass in the face to also.

What a nice bunch of racists that comes up with accusations without any proof!
Serena is America`s ultimate athlete! But she is black!…and that offends some people.
Send her my way in Canada and she will get the treatment she deserve.

Serena represents everything that is wrong with professional sport in general and tennis in particular. The gamesmenship is at the worst level ever even with 6 refs and computers. Then you add an out of shape, probably steroid laden primadona who has “never lost a match to a better opponent in her life” and you get the horid display of last weekend. Yes she should be suspended. A message needs to be sent to the tennis world. But it won’t happen because they want her to drag her fat ass to tournaments so more people can go see her act that way or worse by tanking when she is not “up” for the big tournaments… Furthermore how racist would it be to accuse a black woman of anything.

Watched the Federer vs. Del Potro match yesterday - noticed how both of these guys do NOT have the muscles or the temper of Serena Williams. She looks like Ben Johnson looked when he was caught on steroids and she also exhibits the same type of temper - she should have been banned from tournaments for a season and forfeited her prize money from the US Open and then this would warn others not to do the same in other tournaments. North Americans love agre3ssion and fights - look at the NHL, tennis is supposed to be a gentlemanly sport - Serena fits the gentleman piece!!!

USTA - Do the right thing. Send a message to the young tennis players coming up that criminal behavior on the court (if they hadn’t been on a tennis court, the lines woman would have every right to file an assault charge against her - actually, I’m hoping that she does anyway,) by fining Serena at least $250,000 and suspending her from at least one slam for 2010. Maybe then she’ll wake up and come out of her steroid induced haze long enough to realized the severity of what she did.

Serena’s behavior last night in the semi-final of the US Open is one more, of the several, irrefutable signs that something wrong.
I have closely followed tennis since 1977 and this is the worst behavior I have ever seen by a tennis player. I have never seen a professional or weekend tennis players act like this. Serena’s behavior was much worse than the all-time bad boy of tennis, John McEnroe. To my knowledge, he never threatened lines people as Serena did last night. I have seen her explode at other players on other occasions; yet her actions last night were abhorrent. This begs the question, What has she done in smaller venues when not on prime time television?
This sets a low precedent for the game of tennis. Should Serena not be penalized for her actions, beyond losing one point in last night’s game, we may see more shameful behavior like hers.
Some people feel her frequent maniacal outbursts are drug induced.
I recall one of Serena’s outburst against Jelena Jankovic. Some against lines people. Yet, many of these outbursts occur when “getting pumped up.” Yet, when her eyes seem as though they are about to pop out and her head about to explode, it seems there are other unseen forces at work.
As has been mentioned before, Serena entered the 2007 Australian Open ranked 81st in the world because of infrequent play. It was also mentioned by reporters that she had not been practicing routinely. She was also carrying 30 to 40 pounds of fat – much heavier than any tennis player, male or female, I had ever seen. Yet, defeated all her competitors, all of whom were in top athletic condition.
And how could she go from normal size and weight, at the age of 17 to 19, to an extremely pronounced figure with profoundly thick limbs? To add such size would require an extensive, aggressive weight-lifting routine over a long period of time. How could she maintain such a routine while touring the professional tennis circuit? This is very peculiar. In sharp contrast, almost every tennis player wishes to be light for enhanced running speed and agility. Consider professional football players in the position of wide-receiver: Have you ever seen one who is bulky as Serena?
So, her frequent outbursts, winning major tournaments without much practice or play and her immense size in relationship to the other professional tennis players on the WTA seems to point to one conclusion: steroids.
The last line of defense, for those who wish to defend Serena, is testing. Yet, testing can be subject to big money and corruption. Even The World’s Series was a scam one year. Perhaps, it was a scam more than once.
The United States Tennis Association must strongly condemn Serena’s actions. I feel the USTA should also consider imposing a suspension and monetary fines.
But we may see a cover-up. And the biggest cover-up, should there be one, will come from the media in which they will marginalize and brush this aside.

Oh Oh! just saw the williams/clijsters match. First she broke her racket slamming it on the ground and then she threatened to shove the tennis ball down the throat of one of the lineswomen for calling her for a foot fault at the end of the game, causing her to lose the match.
Could all this anger be caused by anything you can think of? duh…
