So...Serena Williams at Wimbledon - Was she high?

Expect to hear of her checking in to rehab sometime in the next 6 months or so. She is clearly off her head on something and if she was using it during an important match it screams problem.

Looks like me when I start/stop anti depressants.


Minus Wimbledon.

I seriously doubt it's weed. Come on. She didn't look well to me at all, and not because of anything to do with drugs. Viruses, in my experience anyway, do make you dizzy and weak, not to mention aches and pains all over the body. I think people just like to think that she's on PEDs and so jump straight to that conclusion when she doesn't look herself on court. The whole scene looked quite awful actually. She looked very unwell and clearly upset by the whole thing.

PEDs are a problem in tennis, for sure. Several players, including Roger Federer, have appealed for more transparency in testing, and Rafael Nadal has been dogged by drug rumours for years. However, currently, players do get tested for PEDs during Grand Slams (after they get knocked out), so I think Serena was probably thoroughly tested after this. I also doubt that a combination of heat, pressure and PEDs caused her to break down. If that was the case, surely it would have happened long before this? They compete in major tournaments in the US and Australia at the height of summer, climates much hotter than the UK, and she's won plenty of times there.

To be honest, I think it is just what it seems. Bizarre, yes, and she probably should not have even been allowed to start the game after her attempt to warm up, but I think she is just ill.

What were they doing at a gang shootout in Compton?

The sister got caught in the crossfire. Apparently the gunman was attempting to shoot someone else, and she got shot instead. Also, they're from Compton. It'd be more surprising if they'd never experienced gang-related sh*t in their lives.

Nope.

If you look at the symptons she was on Clarky Cat.

It'll make your arm feel like a couple of fortnights in a bad balloon.
