Banned sprinter Sha'Carri Richardson was not on the Olympic roster released Tuesday by USA Track and Field, a decision that means the American champion's positive test for marijuana will cost her a chance at running on the relay team in Tokyo, in addition to her spot in the 100-meter individual race. Richardson's positive test nullified her win at Olympic trials in Eugene, Oregon, last month and the spot that went with it in Tokyo in the 100. Asked about how Richardson was taking the news, her agent, Renaldo Nehemiah, responded: "We haven’t spoken about it at all. Last week, President Joe Biden said that while he was proud of the way Richardson handled her ban, "the rules are the rules." "Whether they should remain the rules is a different issue, but the rules are the rules," Biden said.
