A couple weeks ago Sha’Carri Richardson went viral after she punched her ticket to the Olympics in the 100 meters. The other day it came out that Sha'Carri tested positive for marijuana after the race. She did issue an apologize.
"I apologize," - "As much as I'm disappointed I know that when I step on the track I represent not only myself, I represent a community that has shown great support, great love ... I apologize for the fact that I didn't know how to control my emotions or deal with my emotions during that time."

Now it's come out that Sha'Carri won't be allowed to compete at the Olympics! This sucks!! She said that she smoked to cope with the loss of her Mom, she smoked in a state where it's legal...I know it was a mistake and she should have known the rules but ugh!!! That's awful! I hope she can appeal or something can change.
