Richardson Officially Out of Olympics After Positive Test

Brock Fritz Headshot

The United States Track and Field team released its roster for the Tokyo Olympics on Tuesday. Sha'Carri Richardson’s name wasn’t on there, meaning the sprinter will officially miss the 2020 Summer Games after testing positive for marijuana.

The 21-year-old Richardson is serving a one-month suspension after testing positive during the U.S. Olympic Trials in late June. She was forced to miss the 100-meter dash, which she won in 10.86 at the Olympic Trials on June 19, but was potentially eligible for the 4-by-100 relay on Aug. 5 in Tokyo. She wasn’t picked for the relay, however, and U.S. Track and Field officials released a statement saying that they are sympathetic toward Richardson but had to enforce the anti-doping rules that are in place.
