Lindsey Vonn Pee Tested During Gala

Tiger Woods girlfriend, Olympic skier Lindsey Vonn, was ambushed by the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency at a fancy gala and ordered to take a pee test on the spot.

Lindsey Vonn had to undergo a mandatory drug test with the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) while in a couture gown at the Council of Fashion Designers of America Awards.

Tiger Woods’ new girlfriend Vonn, who is training for the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia, accompanied designer Cynthia Rowley to the glitzy awards ceremony at Lincoln Center Monday night.

Sources exclusively tell Page Six that Rowley and the skier, wearing a stunning, custom-made white gown from the designer, were sitting in Alice Tully Hall among fashion’s elite — including honorees Oscar de la Renta and Vera Wang, Ralph Lauren, Anna Wintour and Michael Kors — when Vonn got a call on her cellphone from the USADA. The organization is recognized by the U.S. Congress the official anti-doping agency for Olympic, Pan American and Paralympic sport in the United States.

Several drug testers were waiting outside Lincoln Center, and told Vonn they needed access to the event to perform a drug test immediately. Rowley met the USADA group outside and ushered them into the hall.

A source told us: “Lindsay met the USADA at the bathroom. Cynthia stood guard outside, and no one was allowed to enter the bathroom. They were in there for about five minutes.”

We’re told that amidst the glamorous setting, the USADA team made Vonn “pee in a cup.”

“Here Lindsey is in this custom-made gown, feeling like Cinderella, and she has to get up and do a drug test,” sniffed one source.

But Vonn didn’t seem rattled by it, telling us afterwards: “We’re having a great time and [Rowley] did a great job with the dress.”

She’s recovering from a serious knee injury and told us her rehab regimen is going well. “I get to start jumping and running soon, so that’s exciting,” she said.

As for whether Woods is giving her rehab help, Vonn remarked: “He’s obviously been through it so he can relate. It’s good to have a strong support system.”

Tom Kelly, from the U.S. Ski and Snowboard Association, said: “All elite athletes in all sports are always on call for testing 24/7/365. Testing can and does occur at any time. Athletes are required to report their whereabouts at all times.”

Mark Jones, Senior Director of Communications United States Olympic Committee, told us that the USADA, an independent body, does the drug testing for the IOC.

Annie Skinner, Media Relations Manager at the USADA, told Page Six, “Lindsey Vonn has participated in the USADA out-of-competition testing pool for more than 12 years. As part of her participation, she provided USADA with her location information indicating she would be in New York and we performed a test collection on her there.

"We appreciate her professionalism and for accommodating this process, which at times can be inconvenient. Her sample was collected in accordance with the standard protocols and will be processed by a WADA-accredited laboratory."

Skinner continued, "This real-life example demonstrates the commitment of our elite Olympic athletes and the accommodations they make for the inconvenience of drug testing, in order to ensure the ideals of clean sport are upheld.”
