Andy Murray Receives OBE Medal Following Random Drug Test As Prince William Presents Order of the British Empire To Star and Girlfriend Kim Sears

Andy Murray had quite the interesting day on Thursday, as he was set to get his Officer of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire medal, but on his way there he was delayed by a random drug test, showing that there is no way to predict when those come down the pipeline. Murray received the award with his girlfriend Kim Sears along with his parents.

Wimbledon champion Andy Murray was held up on his way to receive an OBE at Buckingham Palace by a random drugs test on Thursday.

The Scot, who was to receive the honor from Prince William, got an unexpected knock on the door just as he was sprucing himself up for his royal engagement.

"In the middle of a drug test hahaha I'm goin to be late!!" Murray, who is recovering from back surgery, said on Twitter.

Murray became the first British man in 77 years to win Wimbledon when he beat Novak Djokovic in July, a year after winning the Olympic gold medal.
