I think it needs to be handled based on the 2nd test so that way we know whether she used weed as a masking agent or not. If there was malicious intent then she should be banned accordingly on that. If it was just being used cuz she's a weedhead or cuz she needed to cope with the loss of her mom then give her a reduced penalty and warning of a higher penalty if the offense is repeated.
Sprinter Sha’Carri Richardson suspended one month after marijuana test, putting Olympics in doubt

American sprinting champion Sha’Carri Richardson apologized for the positive marijuana test that will prevent her from running her signature event at the Tokyo Olympics, saying in a “Today” show interview that she used marijuana at the U.S. Olympic trials to cope with the discovery that her biological mother had died and the pressure to meet expectations.
Richardson remained hopeful she could race in the 4x100 relay but acknowledged she will miss the 100 meters, the race that propelled her to instant stardom at the trials. Richardson emphasized she has never used performance-enhancing drugs and expressed confidence she will rebound for future Olympics and accepted fault.
Shortly after her interview, the United States Anti-Doping Agency announced that Richardson had accepted a one-month suspension.
“I want to take responsibility for my actions,” Richardson said. “I know what I did. I know what I’m supposed to do. I know what I’m allowed not to do. But I still made that decision. I’m not making an excuse.”
During an interview at the trials in Eugene, Ore., Richardson said, a reporter informed her that her biological mother had died recently. She said the revelation, along with the pressure to make her first Olympic team, led to her decision to ingest marijuana, which is legal in Oregon.
“To hear that information coming from a complete stranger, it was definitely triggering,” Richardson said. “It was definitely nerve-shocking. It was just like, who are you to tell me that? No offense against him at all. He was just doing his job. But definitely, that sent me into a state of mind, a state of emotional panic.
“I still have to go out and put out a performance for my dream, go out there and still compete. From there, just blinded by emotions, just blinded by hurting. I knew I couldn’t hide myself. In some type of way, I was just trying to hide my pain.”
Under track and field’s anti-doping rules, Richardson faces a 30-day suspension if she undergoes a treatment program and the disqualification of her results at the trials. Since United States Track and Field selects its team for individual events strictly on their finish at the trials, the vacating of her first-place would prevent Richardson from running in the 100 meters.
Richardson would be eligible to be chosen for the 4x100 meters relay. Her suspension will have expired by Aug. 6, the day of the event’s final in Tokyo.
“Right now, I’m just putting all of my energy into dealing with what I need to do to heal myself. If I’m allowed to receive that blessing, then I’m grateful for it,” Richardson said. “But if not, right now, I’m going to just focus on myself.”
Richardson, 21, emerged this year as a threat to win the 100 meters gold medal, running a season-low time of 10.72 seconds and winning the Olympic trials in 10.86 seconds. She became an instant star at the trials, her first event performing on a national stage. Richardson ran with flowing orange hair trailing behind her, extended eyelashes, long, colorful fingernails and fearless bravado.
After winning, Richardson rushed into the Hayward Field stands and hugged her grandmother. Her Instagram followers doubled to more than 1 million, and she received social media shout-outs from, among others, Michelle Obama and Viola Davis.
In the World Anti-Doping Agency’s prohibited list published on Jan. 1, the chemical compound found in marijuana, THC, is listed next to cocaine, MDMA/ecstasy and heroin as a substance of abuse. They are considered substances of abuse because they “are frequently abused in society outside of the context of sport,” the WADA rule book reads. The drugs are prohibited in-competition only. Cannabidiol (CBD) is considered an exception, while other cannabinoids are illegal.
“There will never be a steroid associated with the name Sha’Carri Richardson,” Richardson said.
If Richardson does not run, fourth-place trials finisher Jenna Prandini, who also made the Olympics in the 200 meters, would be first in line to replace Richardson. Javianne Oliver, who finished second, would be declared the winner of the women’s 100 meters.
Richardson found solace in her future. “This is just one Games,” Richardson said. “I’m 21.” But her emergence, at least as an Olympic 100 meters champion, will be delayed at least until the 2024 Paris Games.
″Sitting here, I just say, don’t judge me, because I am human,” Richardson said. “I’m you. I just happen to run a little faster.”

The melenated folks in the "diaspora" say we the least prideful Black group in it and are "the white people" of Blacks. Any questions?
Quiet Tiny Tina. Before I remind you how many times you kept my screenname in your mouth when your corny MITDropout ass was renting Lambos to impress us.
Also don't be mad that a Olympics level athlete doesn't look like the pathetic fat white hoes that also reject you.
Disappointed yes, but with all that she's been going through, shit is sad. But what I won't do is beat her down or drag her.
White folks was looking for a reason and unfortunately they found one. Yall can get her for the weed but that speed was not weed enhanced, that tells me she can run faster than we thought.

Don't bring white folk into this. She made the decision knowing that she would be tested to smoke weed. It was just such a dumb decision.
It's funny that in other contexts, they historically don't discuss marijuana in such glowing terms
She is in a tough spot...mother dying at that young age with all that pressure...rules are rules but its a sad situation...World Champs are next year I believe so she will get a chance on the world stage again..i figured this dream 100m Womens final would have some fuckery but I expected it to be COVID related
Man y'all making all these dumb ass excuses for this fool. She knew the games were near and she knows how stringent testing is. She said fuck it I'm going to spark up anyway. That's the definition of idiocy. Her ass could've took a liter of Henny to the head and destressed that way. Its unfortunate that these niggas are always willing to risk it all for weed. Stop stigmatizing therapy and see a damn shrink already. Get real fucking help and stop using weed to fight your demons.
It is a shame. Lucky for me, I had folks that knew the game and taught me along the way. But then I realized code switching isn’t just for white folks. It’s also connected with learning how to read the room and knowing your audience.

She need to leave them hood mu fuckas and enablers like @easy_b that's telling her what she's doing is cool alone.
I mean damn Bitch at least get ya money first
You can tell what folks never had real friends cause whenever my peeps was around somebody that was gon make it big
we made sure to keep them out of as much fuck shit we could.

It is but it's the world we live in. We GOTTA teach our kids what the game is
.Not for nothing she could of smoked Weed two weeks before her race. I’m sorry, I think these fucks targeted her.
so ya’ll don’t think nobody ever tested positive for weed. How much you want to bet they smoothed it out behind the scenes. You think they would’ve reported or dropped Phelps if he tested positive for pot? I know she ain’t the same status but still.
Right before the fucking Olympics they drop that news.
She would of been a huge headliner along with Simone Biles. I honestly think they just don’t like her image.
Put her on the track again today and see what the difference is, she would still smoke all of them. I look forward to seeing her beating everyone in the next olympics. Hope she uses this as motivation and keeps her head up

Yea. code switch is also about time and place appropriateness as well. Shit starts at home. You didnt talk to and around your parents the same way you did in the streets. You didnt talk to strangers same way you spoke to familiars..

They be projecting themselves onto us hard bro. Then you go down their timelines nothing but Beyonce, Kobe, and any other ADOS celeb you can name on they shit.
Cats do that with ADOS up here all the time. Diss us then dickride LeBron or Jay Z the next thread over.
But for perspective...
Haitians get dissed and mistreated by their West Indian brethren more than any other group IN the Caribbean and it ain't close. When you go at white supremacy you have to expect melenated people in the Islands are gonna go at you, it's not just us. They are simply doing what they were colonized to do. I always say colonization works and is very effective.
All that may be true, but we can’t go off of what others may have got away with. We ain’t them. We’re under a microscope and it’s been like that for a long while.
With the start power she was gathering, she had to be straight as an arrow.
If I recall correctly Phelps didn't test positive. He got suspended and lost both endorsements and Olympic funding based off a pic of him with a bong
How old are y - let me rephrase that - are you over 30? It's just I seems like up to time kats that had that one in the group that look they might be "going places or somewhere" - they'd do exactly what you said. "Don't fuck up like I did" Nowadays seems like it's a different storyShe need to leave them hood mu fuckas and enablers like @easy_b that's telling her what she's doing is cool alone.

Yeah, people are already bringing in Phelps. I think Phelps got caught in that picture AFTER he won his medals.
I know you said, what you said. What you said is what people say to make excuses for others who make bad decisions in life.
Who care if white folk were looking for a reason. They didn't find one..she gave them (white, black, or otherwise) one.
Fuck the game. I thought the same in my younger days and always considered the accept me as I am but matured to recognize the systems we're up against. Code switch-selling out-speaking white.... and the list goes on. My inner circle refers to it all as survival - when we're just successful in our respective industry. I still consider it fucked up that we can't just be, but I also know and understand why we have to be versatile enough to adapt to whatever.
Feel bad for this young track star and wish things were different. But as a former athlete, she needed to have the discipline component intact. Been around tons of talented athletes that never reached their potential bc they weren't disciplined enough to follow all rules. Even if those rules were straight bullshit.
I forgot about that. I got it.
I’m making excuses for her, I know. But It’s a shame. I saw a sister making her way up only to lose it all before the olympics. I hope she learns from this
Some people just don't seem to get that. It's like leaving a bachelor's party and going to a (real) black tie event with the same energy. No mutherfucker...you have to adjust to the situation, place, etc...
For context, these youngins may need visuals and see the Blade movies and how he wasn't fucking with them familiars the same as his peoples or allies. Bucket strangers, familiars, etc. Then apply how to move with proper code switch.
I tried to tell my nephew that. My wife doesn’t like when people use the n-word around her, so he kept saying it around her. She got very frustrated with him. Around me, it’s a non-issue. My nephew was just bad at reading the room.
Then I realized, that some just doesn’t have the ability to code switch because of their lack of exposure to society.
They can still bring up lab results after winning your medals. That's what happened to the Jamaican 4x100 team that got stripped of their gold medals after Nesta Carter's labs came back positive. The results came well after the event too so that kinda reinforces that Phelps was probably not smoking when he was competing and didn't start til after he retired.
You’re right. I remember that Jamaican team getting stripped. It put everyone on notice.
