of plains this weekend. thanks to andrea, of course, for that, and our best wishes to the carters. congratulations. let s go now to this story. the decision by us attraction and field to keep superstar sprinter sha carri richardson off of an olympic relay team is frustrating millions of american sports fans or worry her absence will keep the u.s. from another gold. sanya richard-ross is a four-time gold medalist for the olympic track and field team and now an analyst. thank you so much for doing this. we really appreciate it, and i just want to start with your immediate reaction to this and to what her fellow athletes who did make the team are saying about not having her there at all. hi, kasie. thanks for having me. this has been a tough one because i think it is hard to separate the emotion from the reality, and i think many of us have fallen in love with sha carri and wanted to see her
disciplined and so i never even took vitamins because i was cared that the bottle might have been contaminated and going to the olympics meant so much to me. obviously, i think the sha carri situation will bring about change. we will re-examine those rules, but at the time those were the rules and we all knew that and so, unfortunately, sha carri like she said made a bad choice and it would lead her out of the first olympics and she s still young and hopefully she has many more olympics ahead of her where she ll go on to do great things. in fact, she tweeted about this exact thing. she said i can t be y all olympic champ this year, but i promise i ll be your world champ next year. what can we expect from the u.s. team in tokyo. they re facing very tough competition from the jamaicans & and they won t have sha carri richardson. team usa is so dynamic and there are so many stars
