Report: Sprinter Sha'Carri Richardson Could Miss Olympics Testing Positive for Marijuana

Less than two weeks after winning the 100m final at the U.S. Olympic Trials in Eugene, Ore., Sha’Carri Richardson will potentially miss the Tokyo Games after reportedly testing positive for marijuana.

The first report from The Gleaner, a Jamaican daily newspaper, says Richardson could face a suspension up to three months for the positive test. The test in question was conducted at the U.S. Olympic Trials.

Richardson was expected to run in the 200m at the Diamond League in Stockholm this weekend, but was omitted from the event's entry list.
