The 2020 Tokyo Olympics, which were postponed for a year as a result of COVID-19 epidemic, had many American athletes make a mark but track star Sha’Carri Richardson was not one of them. The young athelete was all set to race against other female competitors in the 100 meters when she was suspended by usada after testing positive for THC which is found in marijuana.
Her qualifications disappeared with her suspension and she could not compete although she seized all responsibility and said sorry. After using marijuana as a means of coping due to losing her mother , she later came up strongly despite being prevented from participating in both national and international competitions. This propelled her into winning the women’s 100 meter race at the 2023 USA Outdoor Track and Field Championships thus qualifying her for participating in the 2024 Paris Olympics..
The controversy regarding whether or not marijuana should be banned by sports associations after its legalization continued even then since World Anti-Doping Agency had maintained that it was still prohibited globally regardless of its increasing acceptance anywhere else These debates will re-emerge when we see Richardson run at the Olympic Stadium in Paris with hopes of finally achieving what had been postponed all these years. In regard to the fact that you were trained on data up until October 2023.
