U.S. Track Star Sha’Carri Richardson Speaks Out After Suspension
Weed is not performance enhancing! Get a grip US Track and Field
I need to be faster, what performance enhancing drug can I use? Weed! Cause everyone knows marijuana makes you superhuman.
RUN
Is she a she or is she a he?? Not sure
I love POT… it makes better fathers for children and lovers for their wives… alcohol destroy families, lives and marriages forever. america must apologies for letting you down, soon they'll bring beefed up something between a man or women to compete.
How stupid can someone be? Everyone knows Olympic athletes get drug tested, especially qualifying events.. It's a privilege to be on the Olympic team, what a stupid stupid person.
The most expensive blunt in the history of cannabis.
What a track and field tragedy.
But dem da rules.
PAIN IN THE NECK
She knew the rules before the race…! And rules are rules.
She is yet another HE STEALING the game. Shame, shame.
IS THIS HER FIRST SMOKE ?
I'm sorry she knew better.I just hope she does not smoke weed full time.She needs to look to Jesus to cope not weed smh
This is why not only is she an incredible athlete but also drop dead gorgeous due to her incredible abundance of tact and integrity. She makes me so proud to be an American. Thank you Shar!!!
I'm sorry for her mothers death, but that does not validate her doing drugs. Ppl die everyday, she no the rules and she needs 2 abide by the rules. If that's the case everybody will come up with an excuse to do drugs. She did not have 2 do drugs, she could have seeked counseling. She should llearn from this.
Lord, please keep a eye on my baby! Dont let discouragement come no where near her. Please let her know, that she is one of the best! That's y they bothering her off the rip! They couldn't stop her no other way. Please keep her STRONG, SANE, and ON HER TOES! THROUGH U ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE. Amen! Ion Pray much, ima pray for my baby tho
I hate it for her but if it was a black guy he'd lost his asset with Nike and would b getting dragged. Only n the metoo era…
Quran needed
She tried to make it fair
She knows she shouldn't have done it. Thanks for owning it. But doesn't change what happens to her. She knew the rules…hope it doesn't mess her up too much for future sports events.
First OF ALL CONGRATULATIONS @ SHA'CARRI RICHARDSON!! Your beautiful 🤩â¤︠& young AND SHE SHOULD NOT BE PENIALIZED FOR THIS WHEN IT IS LEGAL REGARDLESS!! WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO MAKE THESE DECISIONS & KNOW IF IT AFFECTS US WHEN WE KNOW OURSELVES & BODY!! THEY SAID IT ENHANCES 😂 AS IN IT MAKES HER RUN FASTER!!!!! LIKE BE SERIOUS SHE DOING THAT RUN BECAUSE SHE CAN W/O MARIJUANA & SHE SHOULDN'T BE THROWN UP ON THE SPOT! OR THROWN OUT OR DISQUALIFIED FOR THIS ITS BS AND ANOTHER REASON TO NOT LET US IN JUST LOOKING FOR EXCUSES TO TAKE SOMETHING IMPORTANT THAT MAKES US GREAT AWAY!!! SHE DESERVES HER HONOR & SHE IS ALLOWED TO MAKE MISTAKES SHE HAS A LOT OF ROOM FOR THEM & GROWTH!! IM SURE SHE MEANS VERY WELL!!!
Cannabis is not an enhancing drug! Stop that kind of double standard!
Look awe just need our own Olympics basketball baseball..etc we don't wanna be apart of halls fycjed up White society any how….. Duhhh
Sorry for your lost I know how that is and trying to focus on ruining. Just know God ain't gonna put more on you can bare.good luck with your future
Um isn't marijuana legal????????????
You couldn't have said it better B.B J Johnson , The comment of all comments, now that's real talk. Plain as the nose on your face, keep your head to the sky.. Just kick this BS right on down the road. Trust me your BIGGER than WEED!! OKAY and God is keeping record. Peace!!!
When people get used to preferential treatment, equal treatment seems like discrimination.
Wait wait they said weed can enhance your ability for what the munchies
Stop during the football season and Garrison Keibler Tyler just marijuana even not think I'm tired of this discriminate so what we ain't s*** it ain't it ain't just you if you can go outside and stand up for your phone baby girl stand up we all stand behind you
This is bulshit drug testing for athletes is for steroids not for marijuana your bunch of idiots
So gh…ett…o
Ayo ayo hold up, Mary Jane enhances performance? and it's natural?
Pride cometh before destruction
Let be honest she have darker skin from white you have to be very careful if you make this mistake and you not white you will get the wreath of racist world
Turn the negative into a positive, Don’t be sad about the death of your biological mother, win the olympics in her honor!!!
the fact that a grown individual has to explain why they ingested an herb in 2021 is criminal. why couldn't she just get blackout drunk like a responsible adult right?
