Continual penalizing of a action that poses no threat or negative consequences to anyone. It’s scientifically more medical than criminal & the world has realized it. This is another form of oppression that is not giving everyone a fair shot at accomplishing their goals.

The 21-year-old superstar athlete received a 30-day suspension due to the positive test. Once the penalty expires, she may be allowed to compete in the women’s relay events.

“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 told “Today” host Savannah Guthrie on Friday.

Richardson explained to Gutherie that she decided to use marijuana after a reporter gave her the news that her birth mother had died. She had also used marijuana while she was in Oregon, where recreational use has been legal since 2015.
Sports Illustrated declared that Richardson was the “United States’ best hope at a gold medal in the women’s 100m” last week when the sprinter zipped past her competitors in the 100-meter final at the trials, finishing with a time of 10.86 seconds. 

This archaic ridiculous rule holds no relevance, and it’s only going to change anyway in a few years so why not start now!!!!
