After Sha’Carri failed her drug test for the Olympics, it had been previously determined that she would have to sit this one out. But thanks be to God. She’s able to make a comeback to the track. Maybe not in the way she had anticipated, nonetheless, she’s back making strides. Literally.

Originally, Richardson appeared regretful at her actions of using marijuana, even though she consumed it in Oregon, which is a legal state.
