Serena Williams claimed to be deprived of Grand Slam titles and would give a 20 -year ban if she failed with a drug test in a way of Jannika Sinner.
Sinner serves a three -month suspension that expires on 4 May After returning two positive tests to the forbidden anabolic steroid clostel last year.
23 -year -old from Italy, who remains the world No. 1 despite his absence, reached an agreement with the world anti -doping agency (WADA) after claiming that he was unintentionally contaminated while massaged by his team.
Serena Williams says that a 20 -year -old would receive a ban if she failed about drug tests like Sinner
Wada accepted the current Australian Open and the US Open Champion “not to intend to cheat” and that the result was caused by “negligence of his accompaniment”.
Williams, who won 23 Grand Slam titles in a 27 -year -old professional career, suggests that he was treating him.
“Fantastic personality. I love that guy, I love this game. She’s great for sport,” she said Magazine.
“I was postponed so much, I don’t want to overthrow anyone. Men’s tennis needs him.
“If I did it (tested positively on doping) I would get 20 years. Let’s be honest.

Sinner says his three -month doping ban was unfair because he is innocent
The case of IgA Swiatleka also caused a certain surprise, when the female world 2 accepted a monthly suspension in November after being positive to the forbidden substance of trimetazidine.
The former world No. 1 Simon Halep was also banned, although it consciously denied the use of the forbidden drug Roxadustat and its four -year suspension was reduced in 2024 to nine months after appeal at the highest sport.
Williams also said that she took more care of what she put in her body during her career in case she would eat something that got her in trouble.
