    This stinks. I adore this girl. It’s funny because as a smoker myself, I feel like marijuana would HINDER your performance and not enhance it lol I really like how she took accountability instead of denying it too. I’m sorry for the loss of her mom. Poor thing. They know she’d have taken the gold.

      I don’t think she would have taken the gold maybe the bronze or Silver. She’s not faster than Shelly Ann from Jamaica. This is only a big deal because she’s from America. Her getting suspended wouldn’t be a story over here otherwise. She’s not the fastest woman in the Olympics this year.

      Actually she can't run the relay. According to a CBC report, she needed a time from the individual 100m race. Because she was suspended, the time she did in the race does not count. She has no result, she doesn't get to run the relay.

    • @mayloo2137
      @mayloo2137 Před 2 lety

      She can't simply run in the relays 'if she wants to'. As far as I know: she needs a posted time to be considered for the relays. Her times in the 100m were deleted because of her suspension. No time. No relays. Technically, the US Olympic committee could still clear her for the relays, but I think it would be hard to justify to the other runners who got a posted time.

    Let's get one thing straight. Richardson is an Olympic athlete bound by IOC rules. Note to anyone who thinks what happened, I'm looking at you AOC and Seth Rogan, is racist, it's not.
    For those who don't know the true story behind this ban:
    Marijuana didn't used to be banned. The policy was changed after Canadian snowboarder Ross Rebagliati (a white guy) tested positive for the substance at the 1998 Winter Olympics in Nagano , which predates what happened to swimmer Michael Phelps in 2009. At first, Rebagliati lost his medal, then won it back on appeal because the IOC found it had no rules regarding marijuana use. After the incident, the IOC put pot on its banned list.
    Are we clear now?
    Edit Rebagliati tested positive for THC.

All I read is all lives matter and that includes Sha’carri’s. Right? Everyone wants to support mental illness until actions from momentary insanity happens. At the end of the day her mother is gone forever. What if her mind was feeding her thousands of thoughts at the speed of her clock time and all she could do was try to calm herself down. She still has to lay her mother to rest. Has anyone considered that? She was so close to qualifying when her mother passed and she will never get the chance to know her mother’s feelings of that one moment in time! Above all no one knows what she’s dealing with internally. No one knows the relationship Sha’carri and her mom shared and honestly it’s non of our business. So instead of bashing her... pray for her and hope she finds her inner peace. Everybody worried about the wrong stuff!

    Personally, if Sha'Carri asked me, I would say don't smoke because it's bad for your health. However, the most important question that should have been asked is simple; Does marijuana provide ANY performance enhancement? And of course we all know the answer is a resounding NO! If anything it reduces performance. The ridiculously compromised Olympic committee allows men to compete in women events, which is an AUTOMATIC performance enhancement, but then they deny Sha'Carri the chance at GREATNESS on the track because she smoked some weed? The Olympic committee is DEAD WRONG, and they sorely lack even an ounce of bravery. Re-institute Sha'Carri's eligibility immediately and stop madness!
