Breaking: A droping text cut short the celebration of Curry, Durant and Edwards after winning the Olympics gold medal…see more
This was revealed just over a week later by one of them, Anthony Edwards, during his appearance on the Fanatic Fest Podcast with former player Jalen Rose, in which he explained that both he and Kevin Durant, also present in that conversation, as well as Stephen Curry had to pass a drug test in Paris just after the end of the final.
“I’m not going to lie, me and him (Durant) had a doping test. We couldn’t celebrate the win in the locker room for real because he, me and Steph (Curry) had to take a doping test or something,” explained Anthony Edwards, one of the stars of the U.S. Dream Team.
There was a time not too long ago when some critics insinuated that professional NBA players did not pass anti-doping tests when they went to international events such as the World Cup or the Olympic Games.
But that was not true, and Edwards’ recent testimony confirms it: For many years now, the IOC and WADA have been taking doping controls seriously with all athletes, so it is better for all of them, including NBA players, to stay totally ‘clean’, even if in the competition they play during the year, in this case the NBA, some substances that internationally are considered banned are not.
