Former LSU track and field star Sha’Carri Richardson will not be competing in the 2021 Tokyo Olympics.
Richardson tested positive for marijuana earlier this month and would be suspended for one month which would disqualify her from running in the women’s 100-meter race.
Richardson “successfully completed a counseling program regarding her use of cannabis,” which under USADA rules knocks her ineligibility down to one month.
