Olympic gold medalist Aly Raisman got a surprise this week after an official from the World Anti-Doping Agency gave the gymnast a random drug test during her appearance on "Access Hollywood Live" on Thursday.
Raisman, who won the gold medal in the team and individual floor exercise at the 2012 London Olympics, hadn't been tested since the Olympic Games, until she was complied to undergo a random drug test on National TV.
The 18-year old Olympian explained to the show's hosts - Kit Hoover and Billy Bush - that drug testings are done randomly, though the timing is a little bit questionable.
"It's the World Anti-Doping Agency. They haven't [tested me] since the Olympics, and they choose the finale week of 'Dancing with the Stars' to come!" Raisman said during the show. "Out of all the days since the Olympics, they choose like, the craziest week."
Raisman is nevertheless very much confident she will pass the drug test, insisting that she has nothing to worry about.
"I'm clean. So I don't have anything to worry about," said Raisman, who also unveiled her plan to compete at the 2016 Olympic Games in Brazil.
Raisman is preparing for the upcoming finale of 'Dancing with the Stars,' where the gymnast and two-time champion Mark Ballas made it to the final round.
Raisman and Ballas qualified to the final week after their near flawless performance in the semifinal round, scoring a perfect 10 in the Rumba and a 29 in the Afro Jazz.
They will be up against the pairing of Disney Channel talent Zendaya and Valentin Chmerkovskiy, NFL wide receiver Jacoby Jones and Karina Smirnoff, and Country Music singer Kellie Pickler and Derek Hough.
The finale will take place on May 24 with Rap artist Pitbull, Korean superstar Psy, Wynonna Judd and American Idol runner up Jessica Sanchez making their guest performances.
