| Richardson, whose biological mother died the week before she qualified for the Tokyo Games, said in a "Today" show interview that she tested positive for marijuana after her race at the U.S. track and field trials. She apologized "for the fact that I didn't know how to … deal with my emotions," and pleaded "don't judge me, because I am human." Under the anti-doping rules of World Athletics, Richardson received a 30-day suspension and her performance at the U.S. trials was disqualified. The suspension will prevent her from competing in the 100 meters in Tokyo, although she could return for a relay event. |
