Sha'Carri Richardson Petition Garners More than 500K Signatures

6 Jul 2021
Amid public outrage, a MoveOn petition calling for Sha’Carri Richardson to remain a participant in this month’s Olympic Games in Tokyo has received more than 500,000 signatures.
Last week it was reported that Richardson, who won the 100-meter race at Olympic trials in 10.86 seconds on June 19, would not be permitted to run in the Olympic 100m race after she tested positive for a chemical found in marijuana.
According to the petition, which calls on the United States Anti-Doping Agency to clear Richardson to perform in the Olympic Games and “revisit the outdated rules around marijuana and athletes,” marijuana is not “a performance-enhancing drug for runners.”
