American champion Sha’Carri Richardson cannot run in the Olympic 100-meter race after testing positive for a chemical found in marijuana.
Richardson, who won the 100 at Olympic trials in 10.86 seconds on June 19, told of her ban Friday on theshow. She tested positive at the Olympic trials and so her result is erased. Fourth-place finisher Jenna Prandini is expected to get Richardson’s spot in the 100. Richardson accepted a 30-day suspension that ends July 27, which would be in time to run in the women’s relays. USA Track and Field has not disclosed plans for the relay.
The 21-year-old sprinter was expected to face Jamaica’s Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce in one of the most highly anticipated races of the Olympic track meet.
No kidding
Yeah this sucks for her, but it's the rules, and yes this is a dumb rule that should be eliminated.
Did the Olympics have a no weed rule=yes Did she know that=yes Did she do it anyway=yes I don't see the problem
Those fake eye lashes 😂
if the contest were an eating maybe. marijuana doesn't make you run faster or longer. CallingShenanigansOnThis!! has to be some other reason ShacarriRichardson was suspended that doesn't have anything to do with drug tests. wonder what that could be?
She knew the rules and did it anyway. Girl, bye.
Regular people get drug tested too. She know the rules, so it’s no excuse when your career is on the line.
when did weed become performance enhancing?
This is absolute BULLSHIT
Weed the people
