Being a world-class athlete is not easy and Sha’Carri Richardson has proved it numerous times. While the outside world will only see your triumphs and glamourous lifestyle, very few would understand the strength it takes to be in your shoes. What’s even more vulnerable is when you make a mistake. Being at that level sometimes can ruin your entire career and leave a forever mark on your image.

Some of you might know Sha’Carri Richardson from the US Olympics trials for Tokyo Olympics. The girl who broke the record in a 100m track race. While some of you might know her as the girl who was disqualified from the Olympics. Due to a positive drug test. However, only Sha’Carri can know who Sha’Carri is; the rest are just assumptions based upon facts in hand.

Being Sha?Carri Richardson is like being a superhero

In a detailed interview with ‘teen vogue’, the 25-year-old American sprinter said, ?It almost seems like we have to be superheroes. It?s just irritating because you take away the abilities, you take away the speed, you take away the talent? and we?re still human.??

While she was not allowed to compete in the Olympics because of the positive drug test report, the Russian figure skater Kamila Valieva was exempted on the similar charges. Obviously unhappy with this, she wrote on her twitter handle, ?Can we get a solid answer on the difference of her situation and mines? My mother died and I can?t run and was also favored to place top 3. The only difference I see is I?m a Black young lady.?

What happened during the Tokyo Olympics?

Sha’Carri was amongst the top favorites in the 100m race event going into the Tokyo Olympics. However, the news of her disqualification was made public, after she tested positive for the use of ‘cannabis’. The sprinter agreed to all the charges even before her positive report could decide her participation in the Olympics.

She stated on ‘TODAY’ that she took marijuana to cope up with the death of her mother, who had passed away just a week before the Olympic trials. Sha’Carri was criticized heavily after being disqualified from the Tokyo Olympics and in her retaliation, the sprinter tweeted, ?I am human.??

The 21-year-old racer has shown amazing strength while coping with her mother’s demise and then the doping controversy. However, an incredible athlete like her belongs only on the track. She is a fighter and it would be great to watch her compete once again.
