How this was with Williams sisters, quotation from expert opinion of sport doctor:
"This is already forgotten, that originally was suggested that athletes who are really in need of such treatment should be at this time not to participate in the competition, so as not to have an advantage over other athletes.
Intense, stressful training and competition brings the activation of the adrenal cortex - as a reaction to the load. But such long loads (without them it is impossible to achieve high results) lead to depletion of the medulla of the adrenal cortex.
During lowering functions of the adrenal cortex, there is a phenomenon, which is called the "effect of the missing antibodies in athletes", ie there is a sharp decline in immune function against various infections and other disease-causing factors. If during this time the athlete will hand over blood tests, even a local doctor diagnosed - immunodeficiency and necessarily prescribe medications that are doping from WADA list. Such diagnosis as immunodeficiency - is already sufficient reason to apply to WADA for permission to use illicit drugs, and that probably was made by the team of Williams sisters. Thus that is not coincidence that medicines of both sisters are the same.
Tennis players of top level are forced to play in tournaments almost every week - to keep or gain points in the rankings. With this structure, trainings are moved to second plan and they largely coincide with the participation in the competition. This enormous load for the body. Even in the off-season tennis players rarely can afford a vacation for more than two weeks. And any skipping workouts or reducing loads to recovery or treatment leads to a loss in the early stages of tournaments.
While rivals are forced to reduce stress, to lose physical shape and then restore it, Williams sisters, having received permission to use the forbidden pharmacology (eg prednisone and prednisolone) are maintaining a high enough level of hormones in the blood by steroids, and not to bring the crust adrenal gland to exhaustion. When others are forced to rest or heal injuries, sisters continue to train and participate in tournaments."
