Why Did Sha’Carri Richardson Get Suspended From Tokyo Olympics? Inside Incident

Sha’carri Richardson qualified for the Olympics in Tokyo, though the track and field sprinter was suspended before she was able to compete in the games.

However, Sha’carri wasn’t able to celebrate for long when her hopes of competing in the Olympics were derailed after she tested positive for cannabis use. After she admitted to using cannabis, Sha’carri accepted a one-month suspension from the United States Anti-Doping Agency in July 2021. Sha’carri didn’t deny her drug use, and said she wanted “to take responsibility for [her[ actions” during an appearance on the Today show on July 2, 2021.
