Deadspin | Sha’Carri Richardson finally has an opportunity to shut up her haters

deadspin.com

Richardson will be on the track at the Prefontaine Classic on Saturday in Eugene, Oregon.

Richardson will compete against a 100 meters field that is similar to the group she likely would have raced against in Tokyo.

Jamaica’s outstanding trio of Elaine Thompson-Herah, Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce, and Shericka Jackson who won gold, silver, and bronze respectively will all be competing.

This will be the perfect opportunity for Richardson to put herself right back in the conversation as the fastest woman in the world if she’s able to perform well.

All the naysayers and doubters of Richardson could eat their words once Richardson crosses that line on Saturday. The competition will be stiff because of the elite-level athletes, but through all of her circumstances, people need to remember that Richardson is elite too.

Competitive racing are run all year all over the world. If she wasn't training, well........

Was listening to an interview with Bolt. He said when he cam 2nd to Tyson his coach told him, only he, Bolt, can decide whether he wants to put in the work to win or just coast getting by.

As long as she doesn't show up high, it will be interesting!

All this time I thought Sha'Carri best time was 10.64....didnt realize it was wind aided....10.72 still fast as hell and its a fast track...Brianna probably dealing with her grandmother death

 

[black again]

The Pre Classic is big....but it ain't the Olympics.

I wanted to see them match up at the highest level.

If you're training for the Olympics you DO NOT SMOKE WEED. For ANY reason....
Snitched? They TEST everybody for all banned substances and she came back dirty. Has nothing to do with snitching

Did they ever catch Phelps prior to the olympics??

This is what folks aren't getting. She could have smoked to her hearts content after her final race and they wouldn't care. You only get tested during competitions.

Folks get that but the question is why are they testing for non-performance enhancing anything ?

Weed helps with inflammation and has no side effects.

The test is outdated and targetted

Not only that they can't specify when it was consumed because that can't test for that.

We don't know if he smoked right before the Olympics, it's all speculation.
Maybe he cleansed himself...who knows?
When pictures of him emerged with a PIPE he was suspended (3 months, a lot longer than her)

 

[Flawless]

Hate for being a dumb ass and smoking weed when you know you have to take a drug test.

Make whatever excuse you want but it is still a banned substance. "I didn't know", wont hold up in court.

 

[cincitystudios]

Let's show'em you the real deal!!! If she get 3rd, I don't care, just get on the podium!

I don't think so, they did that already at the Olympics.

Please explain how it's "targeted"?
cacs smoke more than Black People

FYI - If it's on the BANNED list that means you can't use it. End of story

EVERY Athlete had to submit a urine sample when they finished the Olympic trials to the USADA
Fuck she thought would happen?? Just plain stupid

 

[An RnB Thug]

I don't think so, they did that already at the Olympics.

Richardson wasn't there and people said "if she was....."
I'm sure they wanna shut those people up.
