Why was Carri suspended from US Olympics?
NBC News states that Sha’Carri Richardson tested positive for marijuana during the U.S. Olympic trials in June 2021. As a result, she was suspended for one month and disqualified from her victory in the 100 meters at the trials. This meant that she could not compete in the 100-meter race at the Tokyo Olympics.
Additionally, she was not selected for the women’s 4×100-meter relay race, which was her last option for competing in the Games.
Richardson admitted to using marijuana as a coping mechanism after learning about the death of her biological mother and the pressure to perform at the trials. She apologized for her actions and regretted not knowing how to control her emotions.
Sha’Carri Richardson claims she was removed from an American Airlines flight
According to NBC News, The 22-year-old says a male flight attendant requested her to hang up a call, and she did so but then told him she didn’t appreciate his tone, according to a series of images and tales on her official Instagram.
“Following that while standing in front of me doing the safety protocols, he continued to lean over to look at my phone,” Richardson stated in an Instagram story where he tagged American Airlines.
He checked to make sure that my phones were already in aeroplane mode. He insisted I demonstrate it for him. That I did right in front of his face. American Airlines said,
“We accommodated the customer on a later flight, and a team member has reached out to learn more.” Richardson claims she recorded the encounter with the flight attendant and afterwards viewed the footage.
It’s “not working today,” she explains. “Leave of absence.” Richardson’s destination during his flight could be more precise. Richardson turns her phone’s lens on a flight attendant next to her, who quickly begins to retreat out of view. Richardson adds, “I’m recording me, but you jumped in my video, so I caught you.”
