Sha’Carri Richardson Out of the Olympics Entirely

Sha’Carri Richardson will officially miss the Tokyo Olympics after testing positive for marijuana.  

Richardson received a 30-day suspension for the positive test which ensured that she would not be able to run her primary event, the 100-meter dash.

The timing of the ban left open the possibility that she could still compete for a medal in the 4×100 relay, which will take place after her suspension is over.

But the USA Track & Field announced its full roster of athletes yesterday (Tuesday), revealing that Richardson has not been selected as a member of the 4×100 relay team.
