Sha’Carri Richardson not on U.S. Olympic track and field team
Sprinter Sha’Carri Richardson was not on the U.S. Olympic track and field roster announced Tuesday.
Richardson was retroactively disqualified from the Olympic Trials, where she won the 100m on June 19, because she tested positive for marijuana after the final. Marijuana is banned in competition by the World Anti-Doping Agency.
Richardson’s one-month ban began June 28, meaning it will expire during the Tokyo Games but before track and field competition starts.
