U.S. track sensation Sha'Carri Richardson, who punched her ticket to the Tokyo Games after winning the women’s 100-meter race last month, has been suspended for one month after testing positive for THC, the chemical in cannabis.
Richardson failed a drug test following her Olympic qualifying 100-meter race victory at the U.S. Olympic Track and Field Trials in Eugene, Oregon, on June 19, according to the United States Anti-Doping Agency.
She accepted the one-month period of ineligibility that began on June 28, the agency said. While the suspension takes Richardson out of running in her signature event at the Tokyo Games, she may still have a chance to run the 4x100-meter relay.
