Runner Sha'Carri Richardson was not named to the U.S. relay team and will not compete in the Tokyo Olympics following her positive test result for marijuana, the governing body said Tuesday 07 July 2021.
She will not be offered a shortened suspension to compete on the international stage later this month, USA Track & Field said in a statement.
Richardson failed a drug test after she qualified June 19 in the 100-meter race at the U.S. Olympic Track and Field Trials in Eugene, Oregon, and has accepted a one-month suspension. The United States Anti-Doping Agency said last week that she would have to be "disqualified, and she forfeits any medals, points, and prizes," including her Olympic trial result.
