This is not a new theory. Some sites have speculated about signs of Williams using PED's before.
But this week on LR, we have this thread...

Female athlete and mom wrote: Let’s get real, if Djokovic had screamed at and berated the female umpire during yesterday’s final, who would we be calling sexist today? Not the umpire.

Yes, exactly.
The first NFL player who holds play up by similarly questioning/impugning/insulting the female ref is going to get ejected pronto. Everyone knows it. I bet the coaches have been at pains to reinforce, say nothing to her, take the 50-yard penalty and loss of two downs, keep away from her, etc. Serena is not setting a good example with her conduct towards the male umpire when supposedly the most ignorant and sexist abusive NFL brutes show far more respect to their female ump.....Female athlete and mom wrote: Calling someone “honey” in the context you are using it is considered sexist. Fighting sexism with sexism. Clever

Not really, this dude is LRBF like most of them. You have the advantage of the larger female brain.Female athlete and mom wrote: But to address your comment, I read her tweet and completely disagree with it, beginning with the assertion that even though coaching during a match is prohibited by the rules, it shouldn’t be, thus umpires need to ignore it. Bad logic. You want the rule changed, then change it, don’t just ignore it.
Secondly, there is standing up for oneself, and then there is crossing a line. Serena lost her cool, plain and simple, and at a very bad time. Demanding the umpire apologize to her in front everyone? A baseball player would be hitting the showers for that comment.
Regarding BLK’s “passionate v hysterical” comments... Throughout her career, Serena has been called nothing but passionate for pumping her fist and yelling “come on” during her matches. It’s been one of her main attributes. In this instance, she lost her temper, but I don’t recall anyone referring to her conduct as “hysterical.” That’s just BJK adding to the hyperbole.

I like Serena. I don't think she should just lie down and be submissive (except in my bed, of course) but there are boundaries and she oversteps them. Social media princesses have gotten used to fawning and achieving results by bullying - which is what Serena was doing here.
The next problem, ROID RAGE. We all remember Benjy, well, there are parallels here... Serena's later-career event domination, her bulked/ripped physical form, occasional medical absences from comp, roid rage outbursts, etc, are all a familiar pattern to many of us here. I hope not, but the signs are notable. Because of our own sport's long history, we t&f viewers/competitors are among the most discerning and informed fans when it comes to identifying circusmtantial signs of PED use.
Let's have a poll, Do you think Serena is using PEDs? Y/N, and see what happens....
