Exclusive: Sha’Carri Richardson Speaks Out About Failed Drug Test

Sha’Carri Richardson, a 21-year-old American track star, has tested positive for a chemical found in marijuana, putting her Olympic participation in doubt. Speaking exclusively to TODAY, Richardson cites the pressure of athletic competition, her biological mother’s recent death and more, but says, “I know what I did, I know what I’m allowed to do … and I still made that decision.” Regarding the chance that she could still participate in a relay event, she says, “If I’m allowed to receive that blessing, then I’m grateful for it, but right now, I’m going to just focus on myself.” She says: “I’d like to say to my fans and my family and my sponsorship … I apologize,” adding, “Don’t judge me: I’m human. I just happen to run a little faster.” She adds: “I still have games in me … I’ll be back and ready to compete.”

[@autumnasdfghjkl]

@Reported Alotforfreespeech by the Olympics rules, they are allowed to use cannabis during the “recovery” period, but they cannot be high during competition. They can have a certain amount of thc in their system, but if it’s over that amount they break the rules. They can use cannabis any time before 48 hours before race day. The rules around this are so messed up and hypocritical.

[@autumnasdfghjkl]

@Reported Alotforfreespeech not necessarily… some would argue that it would be a disadvantage overall. There’s no evidence to show that cannabis helps with insurance and actually a lot of people experience the opposite effect when they smoke.

Test have proven, both mental and physical, that people who are not habitual users of cannabis score much higher on the stated test under sober conditions.

[@seekeroftruth1484]

Also, we don’t know if everyone else followed the rules and just didn’t get caught. Weed is easy to flush out your system before a urine test. A lot of career/educated people smoke weed because their are less side effects than fda drugs. Anti depressants and other fda drugs cause seizures and marijuana prevents seizures. This is why it was demonized by corporations/politicians. It can effectively put pharmaceuticals out of business. Follow the money. The only reason it’s legal is so they can profit now.
