Clarence Page: Pot, politics, protests — yes, it must be time again for the Olympics

CLARENCE PAGE Chicago Tribune Hey, sports fans, itâs time for the Olympics again. So letâs talk about pot, protests and politics. Purists still decry the intrusion of politics into their sacred Games, especially if the politics disagree with their own. But such intrusions have been happening so often, that the International Olympic Committee might as well consider awarding medals for it. If so, American star sprinter ShaâCarri Richardson became a contender when she received a one-month suspension after testing positive for marijuana. That came as a shock to many, especially to those of us who didnât know that even now, after 18 states have legalized recreational weed â including Oregon, where she was when she used it â that you can still get bounced from the Olympics for it, even though officials agree it is not a âperformance-enhancing drug,â except perhaps as a stress reliever.

Los Angeles Times: Sha Carri Richardson s suspension was fair, but the marijuana rule isn t

Los Angeles Times: Sha’Carri Richardson’s suspension was fair, but the marijuana rule isn’t Los Angeles Times Sprinter Sha’Carri Richardson delights fans with her vivid style, even bolder smile, strength of character and deep and open love of her grandmother. Not to mention that she runs, as she puts it, “a little faster” than the rest of us. “Splendid” is the word that comes to mind. So it was heartbreaking to see this young woman, so full of promise and personality, kept from competing in the Tokyo Games over the use of some marijuana, especially considering that she tested positive just a few days after learning from a reporter that her mother had died.

OffOn The International Swimming Federation has said it would review the decision. • 9 min read This is the story of Black hair Author Emma Dabiri says the stigma around Afro-textured hair is a construct. Here s where the myth comes from. Luke Hutson Flynn A rejection to allow swim caps made for natural hair in the Olympics has started a larger conversation on bias, gatekeeping and representation in the sport. Soul Cap, a U.K.-based company that sells swimming caps for thick, curly and voluminous hair, had submitted its product to the International Swimming Federation (FINA) for approval last year so that athletes with these types of hair could use them while participating in the Tokyo Olympics.
