Speculations are abuzz that Rio Olympic silver medallist Venus Williams was permitted to use prohibited drug Therapeutic Use Exemptions (TUEs). This eventually triggered the rumors of Indian Tennis star Sania Mirza demanded All India Tennis Association (AITA) to seek a probe on the matter. Some media reports even confirm Sania's Mother Naseema Mirza asking AITA Officials to focus on the controversial issue.
Sania Mirza and AITA, however, condemned the baseless speculations. AITA issued a press release clarification it hasn't received any communication from either Sania or her Mother regarding the issue.
Soon, Sania took to Twitter to slam the media for creating a controversy out of nothing. 'Hope this clears EVERYTHING out! And hoping this will make as big headlines as the 'controversy'! #unnecessarydrama. This is for everyone who believe everything they read in the media!!! Calm down and think before believing and reacting! #idiot,' she wrote.
Venus Williams and Rajeev Ram defeated Sania and Rohan Bopanna in the mixed doubles semi finals at Rio Olympics 2016.
