New documents show residents in Florida's collapsed condo feared flaws in original design
SURFSIDE, Florida – As the full extent of the structural damage at Champlain Towers South slowly dawned on the condominium’s shell-shocked residents, new issues emerged that left board members to wonder if the once-glamorous high-rise had been flawed from the start.
As residents girded themselves for the imminent repair bill, condo board members told them the 40-year-old building had no waterproofing layers over the garage, exposing it to water intrusion from the time construction was completed in 1981.

Sha'Carri Richardson suspended for marijuana, Olympics in doubt: Seth Rogen, more stars react
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.
