Patrick Mahomes Calls Sha’Carri Richardson’s Olympic Absence ‘Ridiculous’

Kirby Lee-USA TODAY Sports

Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes is the latest athlete to voice support for American sprinter Sha'Carri Richardson and called her absence from the U.S. Olympic relay team "ridiculous."

Richardson, 21, was left of the United State's Olympic team in the 4x100m relay on July 6, less than a week after her positive test for marijuana at the U.S. Olympic Trials in Eugene, Ore was revealed. Richardson won the 100m final at the trials with a time of 10.86 seconds but that result is now void due to her positive test.
