That's not the argument I'm making. Weed is not a ban worthy substance-- especially at this level.
She should have received an advisory followed by a strike for the sake of optics and professionalism.

I wonder if you dress a kangaroo up in the latest clothes, put a wig on it and some fake eyelashes, after cutting off its tail, if kats would step to it in the club.
What the fuck you talking about looks like a duck quacks like a duck? What you implying here?
Man as someone who's smoked weed man for the life of me I don't get if you know you getting tested for it why would you smoke it? I do think its silly though she's even being tested for it or its a banned substance....its weed....they'd rather her put other chemicals in her body to heal....smh.
that shit ain't on ESPN it ain't happen
Unlike steroids, Weed is only ban during competition.
I am not cosigning with WADA they do have a lot of silly shit on their banned list but this was sloppy of her.
Beer goggles have given a lot of men some embarrassing regrets that they carry t the grave.
If they suspend her for weed I m going to be pissed
Bet that bitches burps smell like Hennessey too
It Kills me when mediocre motherfuckers question the discipline of GREATNESS. None of ya'll have the ability or discipline to be Olympic level anything but you want to question her drive and dedication GTFOH. I really hate all of you that would dare talk bad about this young black American woman who was on the verge of history.
Weed is not a performance enhancing substance. The fact that it can cause you to get banned shows the BS the Olympic committee is on. Do you ever notice they only test for weed for jobs that are low skilled. They don't test lawyers for weed engineers can toke all day, computer programmers, AOC administrators all can smoke all the weed they want but if you work at McDonalds lol you need to be sober as fuck lol. It ain't about the drugs it ain't about health it's about power. People in power want to control your bodies down to what you ingest that doesn't have shit to do with your job or your abilities. And the more power you have in the work context the less they can fuck with you. Athletes they still treat like fucking slaves.

Makes no sense especially when you think about all of the sacrifices she has to make on a regular basis regarding training/diet to be an Olympic level athlete. And before people come out here with the usual bullshit, all of them know they can/will be tested and they all know the banned substances. I hate when people make it seem like they are surprise testing Black athletes for weed but the cac athletes are getting treated different.
I peeped that too...
Chick threw away Olympic gold and millions in potential endorsements for fuckin weed........

Reuters and ESPN have picked it up......
Report: U.S. sprinter Richardson positive for pot
American sprinter Sha'Carri Richardson has tested positive for cannabis, sources told Reuters.
If weed takes away her nervousness, her anxiety, or anything else that can calm her during a race it's definitely a ped. And I'll say what other people are afraid to; she's looks like a damn hood rat, smoking weed like a hood rat, therefore it's a hood rat
But being relaxed/focused doesn't help you jump off the line....
Being fully aware and acute does....
Just came up in Yahoo sports.
They check for weed and not meth bc more of people w our hue……..nvr mind, it’s true.
‘Carry on……
It does if it's calming her nerves or relieving pain that other athletes have to deal with
Jamaica won!!! 
So mfkrs don't take aspirin?
@alexw ....
I'm just playing devils advocate.....
I think it is a very poor decision to make and she shouldn't have.....
But this clarification of weed as "evil" especially in today's social climate...seems a bit much..
There a "legal" alternatives that ppl take to calm their nerves or ease pain....
Hell you can take a shot before you step on the track in theory.....

Shelly Ann Fraser got 6 months banned for a pain killer called Oxycodone in 2010.
She said she took it after some dental work, if I can recalled.
I wonder what strain she likes?

It is not like they just created the rules and she was blindsided by this.
I hope she ain't fuk up her future millions for some weed..........
I won't either, but whatever. We all have our vices.
She is a bit much at times, but I'm not holding that against her.
Surprised that some people are.
