The Olympic gold medalist turned a visit from a random drug tester into a humorous video on TikTok—and fans are loving it.

Sometimes when truly absurd things happen to you, the best thing you can do is laugh!

And that's exactly what Olympic gold medalist Gabby Thomas did when she received a surprise visit from a drug tester, of all people.


Sports-related drug tests are serious business, especially when it comes to the Olympics. While some athletes might take offense to being approached with a test, the Olympic sprinter took a moment to turn the greeting into TikTok comedy gold.

Using the trending sound, "Me, You, and Steve," which is often paired with a video about rocking a third wheel, Thomas panned the video back and forth between herself, the friends she had plans with, and the tester, who was a great sport and smiled for the video.

With everyone smiling and clearly having a good time, the song could be heard in the background:

"I can't believe that it's finally me and you, and you and me, just us! ...And your friend, Steve."

The gold medalist quipped in the text overlay of the video:

"When antidoping surprises you but you had plans."

The video actually brought up a lot more questions than one might have expected.

Many people wanted to know how Thomas handled traveling and still needing to be randomly tested, which involved her keeping in touch with the athletic boards for the different countries she might visit, so they'd be able to get in touch with her if they needed to.

Also, yes, not only did the drug tester have to meet with Thomas, but she also had to be present while she collected her sample.

The athlete was happy to answer people's questions in the comments, but the whole point was to share a laugh.

It would have been so easy for Thomas to be frustrated, either for slowing down her plans or for the insinuation of "needing" a random drug test, but these are just part of the landscape of professional sports.

Creating this video was a great way of lightening the mood and putting a funny spin on something that athletes everywhere can understand.

Trump Dragged After Making Ridiculous Claim About Randomly Finding Billions On The 'Tariff Shelf'

President Donald Trump was criticized after he claimed to reporters this week that officials in his administration suddenly found $30 billion they "never knew existed"—located on what Trump referred to as the "tariff shelf."

Tariffs are a tax on imported goods, usually calculated as a percentage of the purchase price. While tariffs can shield domestic manufacturers by making foreign products more expensive, they are also used as a tool to penalize countries engaged in unfair trade practices, such as government subsidies or dumping goods below market value.

Bride's Friends Surprise Her With Montage Video Of All Her Exes At Bachelorette Party—And People Are Mortified

While Jenny Han's novel To All the Boys I've Loved Before was a major hit, and even became a great film success in 2018, not everyone's married to the idea of reconnecting with their exes after the relationships end.

It might be nice to imagine staying friends after the relationships, imagining our exes missing us or regretting losing us, or even giving us an apology for the things they did wrong. But most of us pine for this for a little while, realize it's all a fairy tale, and push past it to better things and new love.
