Richardson had actually protected her area at the Tokyo Olympics with a runaway victory in the femaless 100 meters at the US Olympic track and field trials last month. However she was suspended one month from the Olympic team after checking favorable for THC, a chemical found in cannabis, the US Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) revealed last week.The womens 4×100-meter relay is scheduled after the suspension ends, however Richardson was not chosen for the relay pool.”First and primary, we are incredibly sympathetic toward ShaCarri Richardsons extenuating circumstances and strongly praise her responsibility– and will offer her our ongoing support both on and off the track,” a Tuesday statement from authorities at USATF said.”While USATF totally concurs that the merit of the World Anti-Doping Agency guidelines associated to THC should be reviewed, it would be destructive to the stability of the U.S. Olympic Team Trials for Track & & Field if USATF changed its policies following competitors, only weeks prior to the Olympic Games,” USATF said.CNN has connected to the sprinters agent for comment.Richardson stated in an interview with NBCs “Today” program on Friday that she had used marijuana after discovering from a press reporter that her biological mom had actually passed away.”I was just thinking it would be a regular interview and then on the interview to hear that details originated from a total stranger, it was definitely activating, it was nerve shocking due to the fact that its like who are you to tell me that?” she told NBC.”From there simply blinded by feelings, blinded by bad news, blinded by just hiding hurt, honestly for the fact that I cant hide myself, so at least in some type of way, I was attempting to conceal my discomfort,” she said.USATF, the governing body of track and field in the United States, stated its reliability would be lost if guidelines were “just implemented under particular situations.”The World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) and the USADA label cannabis as a banned substance as it “poses a health danger to athletes, has the possible to boost performance and violates the spirit of sport.”Javianne Oliver, Teahna Daniels and Jenna Prandini will complete in the 100 meters at the Tokyo Olympics, thanks to their surfaces in the event at the trials. They will belong to the six-member relay pool, as will 100 meters alternate Gabby Thomas. The pool also will include English Gardner, who completed sixth at the Olympic trials. She ran the third leg for the winning US group at the 2016 Olympics. The other swimming pool member is Aleia Hobbs, who was seventh at the trials. She anchored the United States gold medal squad at the 2019 World Relays.
