The Olympics are just a few weeks away, and it looks like the United States' top 100-meter runner won't be running in the event.
Sha'Carri Richardson, winner of the 100-meter dash at the U.S. Olympic trials, accepted a one-month suspension after testing positive for THC, the primary psychoactive compound of cannabis, the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency announced Friday. Richardson still has a chance to compete with the U.S. relay teams, but her retroactive disqualification at the trials means she is out of the 100-meter race.
The widely criticized decision made it all the way to President Joe Biden on Saturday, with Bo Erickson of CBS asking about Richardson's suspension at a cherry farm store in Central Lake, Michigan.
