Welcome to today’s podcast! In a recent interview with Time magazine, tennis legend Serena Williams made some striking comments about the consequences of drug violations in sports. She stated that if she had failed drug tests like men’s world No. 1 Jannik Sinner, she would face a staggering 20-year ban and lose her Grand Slam titles. As she explained, “I would have gotten Grand Slams taken away from me.”
This statement came in light of Sinner accepting a three-month ban for positive tests related to a substance found after a trainer’s mishap. Williams expressed her support for Sinner, saying, “I love the guy, love this game. He's great for the sport.” However, she also highlighted the disparity in how athletes are treated, emphasizing how careful she had to be with what she consumed during her career.
Williams, who last played in 2022, shared her longing for the game, saying, “I miss it a lot, with all my heart.” Tune in next time for more insights from the world of sports!
