Tennis: Serena Williams Not At Home When Drug Tester Arrived for Surprise Test


American tennis star Serena Williams was not at home when a drug tester made a surprise visit to her Florida home on June 14, a spokesperson for the tennis player said on Thursday as the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) said it had tested her on three occasions this year.

Williams’ publicist Kelly Bush Novak was responding to a report on website Deadspin that an officer from the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency

(USADA) had visited seeking to drug test Williams outside the allotted daily window.

Williams, 36, is one of many athletes in the international testing pool who is required by USADA to let the agency know her whereabouts for a one-hour period of her choosing every day, even when not competing.

Testers, however, have the right to also make unannounced visits outside the one-hour window, though there is no guarantee the athlete will be at the location.
