Explained: American Sprinter Sha'Carri Richardson’s Ban Sheds Light on Why Olympics are Harder on Marijuana Than Other Sports

News 18  

American champion sprinter Sha’Carri Richardson, who was expected to be one of the biggest draws at the upcoming Tokyo Olympics, will miss the 100 metres at the Games after accepting a one-month ban for testing positive for cannabis during her U.S. Olympic trials victory last month. But the agency also warns athletes from using CBD as an oil as ‘it may also contain THC and other cannabinoids that could result in a positive test for a prohibited cannabinoid,’ on their website. Meanwhile, Richardson in a cryptic tweet earlier on Thursday wrote “I am human.” I am human— Sha’Carri Richardson July 1, 2021 Richardson positive at the Olympic trials and her results have been annulled, instead of Richardson, fourth-place finisher Jenna Prandini is expected to get her spot in the 100 metres race. Richardson’s 30-day suspension ends July 27 and the women’s 100m event in Tokyo starts on July 30, two days after Richardson’s ban ends, which would be in time to run in the women’s relays.
