President Joe Biden commented Saturday on whether or not he thought American runner Sha'Carri Richardson's one-month suspension for a failed drug test after testing positive for marijuana was fair.
"Rules are the rules," Biden said. "And everyone knows what the rules were going in. Whether they should remain that way is a different issue. But the rules are rules, and I was really proud of the way she responded."
Richardson, 21, had aspirations of being the first American Olympic gold medalist in the 100 meters since 1996 before her suspension.
Her first-place finish at the women's 100 meters in Oregon last month at the Olympic trials was disqualified.
