Shortly after winning a gold medal at the Paris Olympics, the celebration of a trio of stars from the US team was interrupted.

During an appearance alongside star striker Kevin Durant for Board meetings At Fanatics Fest this weekend, Anthony Edwards revealed that the two, along with Stephen Curry, were subjected to a doping test following the Olympic final against France.

“We couldn't even really celebrate because he, Steph and I had to do some kind of drug test or something,” Edwards said after 6:40 minutes.

It's no surprise that Curry was checked after the game, as the star point guard put on an impressive performance, scoring 24 points on eight three-pointers to lead Team USA to a 98-87 victory over France. Durant added 15 points and Edwards added eight points off the bench.

“It's only right that they gave one to Steph the way he closed the deal because that was crazy,” joked host Jalen Rose.

“He should get one after the first Serbia game,” Edwards said jokingly of Durant, referring to the 35-year-old's 23-point performance in the U.S. team's Olympic opening game.

Nevertheless, the doping tests were only a small setback for the ongoing winning streak of Edwards, Durant and the other stars of the US team.
