Vonn pulled off red carpet for less than glamorous test

NEW YORK  Lindsey

Vonn took an unexpected detour during her evening at an awards show — off the red carpet and into the women's bathroom for drug testing. The Vail skier was at the Council of Fashion Designers of America awards at Lincoln Center on Monday night when testers from the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency escorted her to the restroom to collect a urine sample. As Fashionista's Nora Crotty quipped: "Nothing says high fashion like peeing in a cup whilst Anna Wintour schmoozes nearby, right?" Although US Weekly claimed Vonn passed the test, USADA spokeswoman Annie Skinner said the sample was sent to a laboratory for analysis. Olympic athletes are subject to random testing and required to fill out forms notifying USADA of their whereabouts at all times. Vonn's spokesman, Lewis Kay, said the test wasn't a big deal to the 2010 Olympic downhill gold medalist, who wore a deep V-neck white gown by Cynthia Rowley, the designer who accompanied Vonn to the event. "She understands it is part of the job," Kay wrote in an e-mail. The CFDA awards are considered the fashion industry's Oscars. Others attending the black-tie affair included Hillary Rodham Clinton, Jessica Chastain and Ralph Lauren. Read
