Celebrities are voicing their opinions after the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency suspended Sha’Carri Richardson for a positive drug test.
The USADA announced the suspension Friday after a marijuana was found in her system, invalidating Richardson’s performance at the U.S. Olympic trials in Eugene, Oregon, where she won the women’s 100-meter dash. The suspension will also prevent the 21-year-old from competing in her signature event at the Tokyo Olympics later this month.
Richardson issued an apology on NBC’s “Today” show on Friday morning, taking responsibility for the positive test.
“I know what I did. I know what I’m supposed to do. I know what I’m allowed not to do, and I still made that decision,” she said.
