Serena Williams has highlighted the perceived double standards surrounding men’s world No. 1 Jannik Sinner’s doping ban, saying in a new interview with Time magazine that she would have been suspended for 20 years for a similar offense.

Serena Williams says she would have been banned for 20 years had she committed a doping offence similar to that of men's player Jannik Sinner.

Serena Williams has claimed she would have been banned for 20 years if she had failed a drug test like Jannik Sinner. The men’s world No 1 is serving a three-month suspension from tennis after twice testing positive for performance-enhancing drug clostebol in March last year.
