Richardson ran against all three Tokyo Olympic medalists in the 100-meter race at the Prefontaine Classic in Eugene, Oregon.

She accepted a 30-day suspension and apologized, telling NBC’s Savannah Guthrie she used the drug after a reporter confronted her with news of her biological mother’s death. “I know what I did, I know what I’m supposed to do, what I’m allowed not to do. And I still made that decision,” Richardson said.
Though the timing of her suspension made it possible for Richardson to run as part of the U.S.’s 4x100-meter relay team, U.S. Track and Field denied her a spot on the roster, saying in that it was “incredibly sympathetic toward Sha’Carri Richardson’s extenuating circumstances and strongly applaud her accountability ― and will offer her our continued support both on and off the track.”“Training has been going well, regardless of the situation,” Richardson told reporters Friday. “My talent has not gone anywhere. So just ready to get back on the track.”
