Richardson Won't Be Going To Olympics

Days after it was revealed that sprinter Sha’carri Richardson, who finished first in the 100-meters at the U.S. Olympics Trials, tested positive for marijuana and wouldn’t be able to compete in the event at the Tokyo Olympics later this month, it was learned Tuesday she won’t be going at all.

Richardson’s 30-day suspension will end before the 4x100 relay in the Olympics, and it had been thought she might be able to compete in it. But when USA Track and Field released its Olympic roster Tuesday, Richardson wasn’t on it. 

The federation had two discretionary picks for the relay team, but chose not to give one to the 21-year-old.
