That made her the fastest woman in America and second fastest in the world (fromRunner’s World).
Richardson had secured herself a place on theU.S.
Olympic teamheaded for Tokyo and a shot at a gold medal.
Or so the world thought.
Richardson failed a drug test for marijuana after the qualifying event (fromThe New York Times).
That disqualified her results from the trials, and she received a one-month suspension.
Richardson went on the “Today Show” to give some context to what happened.
I represent a community that has shown me great support, great love, and I failed you all.
… Don’t judge me because I am human.
I’m you, I just happen to run a little faster" (viaToday).
“Megan Rapinoe, American soccer superstar,tweeted, “This is trash.
Standing with @itskerrii 100.
This has BEEN outdated.”
It’s something they should be ashamed of.
Also if weed made you fast, I’d be FloJo.”
The outlet notes that the wig reached her waist, providing length and style for the young athlete.
As for makeup, she opted for a nude lip with fanned-out lashes.
Of course, that’s definitely my inspiration.
As long as my community loves it, I’ma bring it every time."
Fans can look forward to seeing her grace their screens once again and cheering her on!
