Sha’Carri Richardson Finally Breaks Another Historic Record;She as been decorated as the Frist Woman in History to break the WGO Record. She also has this to say….

Sha’Carri Richardson won her first Olympic gold medal, bringing the Americans from behind in the anchor lap to win the 4×100 relay.

Richardson, the 100-meter silver medalist, overcame runners from Britain and Germany to help the U.S. finish in 41.78 seconds. That secured a 0.07-second win over Britain, which struggled with two baton changes in the rain.

Gabby Thomas ran the third leg and got her second gold of the Games, this one going with her 200-meter title. Twanisha Terry and 100 bronze medalist Melissa Jefferson rounded out the team.

White House calls Sha’Carri Richardson an ‘inspiring woman’ but stops short of opposing suspension

The American sprinter was suspended after a positive marijuana test.

White House press secretary Jen Psaki called suspended U.S. sprinter Sha’Carri Richardson an “inspiring woman” on Friday but did not call on the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency to reverse its decision disqualifying her from competing in the 100-meter dash at the Tokyo Olympics.

Richardson’s suspension after a positive marijuana test has prompted bipartisan outcry from lawmakers upset that the nation’s fastest woman could be excluded from the Olympics games.

“This was an independent decision made by the U. S. Anti-Doping Agency and not a decision that would be made by the U.S. government, as is appropriate, and we will certainly leave them the space and room to make their decisions about anti-doping policies that need to be implemented,” Psaki said when asked if President Joe Biden wants to see Richardson be able to represent the US in the Tokyo Olympics.

Psaki added that Richardson is an “inspiring woman” who has been through a lot in her personal life, and that she is one of the fastest women in the world. “And that’s an important part of this story as well,” she said.

Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) said earlier on Friday that he opposes sprinter Richardson’s suspension over a positive marijuana test, pushing President Joe Biden to do the same.

“The press who love to bathe in the intersectionality of race-gender-sports should ask @JoeBiden if he believes Sha’carri Richardson should be barred from representing America for using a drug legal in most states that doesn’t impact performance,” Gaetz tweeted, adding “I sure as hell don’t.”

Later Friday afternoon, Gaetz, one of the youngest members of Congress, highlighted the generational divide over marijuana policy by tweeting an AP story with the snarky comment, “Ok, Boomers.”

This sentiment is shared on the other side of the aisle, as well. Sen. Cory Booker (D-N.J.) tweeted in support of the sprinter, saying “Sha’Carri is an incredible athlete with a bright future. That her dreams are being crushed over a substance that should be legal across the country is devastating and wrong. Her heartfelt apology shows her strength even in the face of adversity.”

Biden is out of step with his own party on marijuana policy. Polling shows a strong majority of Americans favor legalization, but Biden has resisted such calls and his administration has refused to reschedule the drug, which the federal government considers an illegal substance with no medicinal value. Biden did, however, call for decriminalization of marijuana during his successful 2020 presidential campaign. After he assumed office, five Biden White House staffers lost their jobs because they admitted to smoking marijuana.
