Sha'Carri Richardson Won't Compete In Any Tokyo Olympics Events

Huff Post  

LOADING ERROR LOADING Track and field star Sha’Carri Richardson, one of the fastest women of all time, will not be competing in any races at the Tokyo Olympics, a newly released team roster revealed. Richardson, 21, was slapped with a 30-day suspension from the sport last week after a drug test detected marijuana in her system ― a punishment that meant she wouldn’t be able to run in the 100-meter individual race in the Games, which start July 23. However, the suspension’s timing left open the possibility that she could run with the 4x100 relay team if USA Track and Field selected her for one of its two discretionary spots. And I still made that decision,” Richardson said Friday on the “Today” show, explaining that she used marijuana before the Olympic qualifying trials after a reporter informed her of her biological mother’s death.
