Sha Carri Richardson off U.S. relay team, out of Tokyo Olympics By Zac Wassink | Last updated 7/6/21
American sprinter Sha Carri Richardson will not be representing USA Track and Field at the upcoming Tokyo Olympics in any event.
Less than a week after it was learned that Richardson became ineligible to run in the women s 100 meters at the Olympics because she tested positive for marijuana at the U.S. Olympic track and field trials last month, she was left off the American roster for the Summer Games. According to ESPN, the 30-day ban linked with the positive test ends before relays begin on Aug. 5, meaning she could ve attempted to chase a medal as a member of the 4x100 relay team.
Banned sprinter Sha Carri Richardson was not on the Olympic roster released Tuesday by USA Track and Field, a decision that means the American s positive test for marijuana will cost her a chance at running on the relay team in Tokyo.

It s official: Despite winning the 100-meter dash at the U.S. Olympic trials last month, Sha Carri Richardson did not make the USA Track and Field roster released Tuesday evening due to a 30-day suspension after she tested positive for THC, the intoxicant found in marijuana.
The 21-year-old sprinter told NBC s Today Show last Friday that she used the drug to cope with emotional panic after a reporter told her days before the trials about her biological mother s death. She said she knew the Olympics rules about drug use and shouldn t have broken them: I know what I m not allowed to do and I still made that decision. [I m] not making an excuse or looking for any empathy.
