Dallas’ own Sha’Carri Richardson took third in the 200-meter race on Friday, finishing behind Jamaica’s Shericka Jackson and teammate Gabrielel Thomas.
Richardson appeared ready to become America’s next sprint star when she cruised to a win at Olympic trials two years ago. But that victory quickly came off the books after she tested positive for marijuana — a doping violation she readily admitted, saying she was in a bad place after the recent death of her mom.
A raucous debate ensued over whether marijuana, not a performance enhancer, really belonged on the banned list , and also whether regulators were too keen to go after a young, outspoken, Black, American woman . After a few unsuccessful comeback attempts — she finished an embarrassing last at a much-hyped return a few weeks after the Tokyo Olympics — Richardson finally started rounding into form to start 2023. About a year ago, she bared her soul in a live chat on social media, urging people to find their true selves, much the way she had done.Aug 21
