I do hope Sha'carri's career in the sport has not been derailed and that she returns this year running low 10.7s and 10.6. and 10.5s She does have to get a move on though, as Nationals and Worlds are about 2 months or so away.
The big question is WHY is she not racing????? If she is really running that fast, why not make it Official? and break Flojo's 10.49 WR I know abut the wind controversy when she tan 10.49 but the Record Books recognize it as the WR. 10.3 in practice Richardson will probably run faster than 10.49 in a race

First of all, she can't run 10.3.
Second, she is a pot head. She can't race right now because she won't stop using marijuana long enough for it to clear her system so she can pass a drug test at a meet. That's why her agent keeps entering her in meets and then last minute she pulls out. She's healthy enough to run, but she can't pass a drug test.
In fact, she might not run any races before USA's because of the risk of her testing positive for marijuana, and getting another suspension.
no thanks. don't care what this multiple cheating piece of crap has to say. 0 credibility. but it sure seems a lot of people are glossing over this fact.
If she's not mentally up to traveling or going far from the home base, there're so many college meets etc. that she can show up and drop a time in.
She flew from where she trains in Florida all the way to California for the Mt SAC Relays. So she is obviously capable of "traveling or going far from the home base."
The issue isn't her travelling. The issue is she can't compete because she can't stay off of weed long enough to pass a drug test at a meet. That why she didn't run at Mt SAC even though she was there.
Justin Gatlin has been busted for banned substances twice. Once for Amphetamines , and then another time for using exogenous testosterone. There’s a special kind of privilege for a convicted drug cheat to be publicly hanging out with competing athletes and no one batting an eye or caring about it. Because that’s what American sprinting is, a clown show. Doping cheats that have made up excuses about being skipping consecutive tests and blaming society for it, doping cheats busted twice yet still allowed to compete, and fools blaming society for failing something like a marijuana test . Count on this , if she fails at another important meet I think she will play the race card, if she hasn’t already. Also , hanging out with a retired sprinter for being a cheater ? Definitely not suspicious at all . No one cares at this point anymore , like I said I think sprinting is a clown show.
After hand timing hundreds of athletes for Time Trials at the beginning of every Indoor and Outdoor seasons over the years, I typically see a trend of at least .5-.6 between the hand times we record and what the athletes actually run in their next FAT timed 100.
Granted I'm talking about HS athletes compared to a world class sprinter but all the previous relevant points apply. Who was timing it and where were they positioned? At the star with not a great view of the finish or at the finish with not a great view of the start? If at the finish, were they starting when they heard the person 100m down track say "go" or blow the whistle or whatever? All of those things play into the delay/discrepancy between the hand time and her actual time.
speed of sound at sea level is about 300 m/s so if you're standing at the finish and going on sound that's .3 right there.
Go by the smoke from the starter pistol and you'd have to have the slowest reflexes ever to be off by .5-.6
