Why are so many letsrunners supporting Sha’Carri’s ban?

She did drugs and tested positive for drugs.

Drugs.

Um. D r u g s.

Your common man or woman doesn't do.drugs.

And...disclaimer: the day my father died...the next day I was back to work.

No marijuana was consumed that day, the next work day and..oh..it's July 2021?

Right..the next 14.5 years.

Sha'Carri doesn't get a pass.

No. No. No.

A drug is a drug is a drug.

Advil's a drug. WHERE DOES IT STOP AND WHO GETS TO SAY.

obviously trolling......91% of the US supports legalizing marijuana use.

You are out of touch with current societal standards....your views are on the fringe

Success US athletes busted for being a drug cheats, defend, it’s alright we don’t see a problem, another country with two high profile drug cheats busted within 2 weeks, ban them for competition.

It’s not performance enhancing so it’s a free pass, it’s legal so it’s a free pass, there are legal drug which could be consumed but they should be on the banned list.. just listen to yourselves.

All drug offer a benefit, that why we take them, they may not have a direct performance enhancement but could indirectly help with recover, relaxation or something you need to help you perform at your best.

If it’s banned, it’s banned, all professional athletes are drilled in what they can and can’t do, we have website we can go to check the banned substances list and protocols if we need TUE’s.

If you are taking these, it’s not because you are dumb, you either mistakenly took something you shouldn’t or they were intentionally using it for a purpose.

Now I don’t know which category this falls into but it will be either of them but nothing else. I wonder if a lot of school/college athletes are also doping they are putting in a vigorous defence, I wonder?

Marijuana/THC is a masking agent. It can be used in conjunction with certain peds.

Relax it is only a 1 Month Ban, and she will get to race all the People that she would have raced in The Olympics in the Pre-Classic, Brussels, Zurich etc

With the stigma of being a convicted drugs cheat. That's the way the British label said athletes. This shall never pass.

If you’re really from the D.R. Congo and your dad was an asylum seeker then you’re not one of these African elites, but you know damn well that the vast majority of African immigrants to America come from an elite/oppressor class that looks down upon Black Americans. I for one am tired of these privileged legacies lecturing Black Americans, who are the historical victims of African and European elites, about this, that and the third. The marijuana laws and rules are stupid in the extreme.

At least you apologized for your error, but your initial insults speak to how you’ve started to adopt the ways of some of your fellow African immigrants.

I am saying that most of the immigrants are middle to upper class africans not the elites also they have wealth in africa but they still choose to move this happens for a reason. In the west we have freedom of speech,a functioning governemt,less corruption, and basic amenities like roads are kept in shape this does not happen in africa. However you are right that a lot of immigrants are from the upper/middle class. I do understand what you are trying to say though

…you guys do realize that she was going to become THE star of the Olympics and send Track and Field to new heights, right?

90% of America doesn’t give two s***s about T&F unless it’s during the Olympics. I’m going to go ahead and say any of you who are happy with this ban are not true fans of the sport and are content to watch it die.

I want her to be allowed to run at the Olympics because I am a biased American.

I understand rule sticklers, and I honestly think that the rules should be followed equally for every athlete. If I heard a Russian (or any other foreign athlete would be banned like this, then I would not want them to be allowed to compete).

Also, don't you think that you are delusional about her sending TF to new heights? If Bolt didn't do that, then why would she?

Also I am not saying blacl americans do not go through a hard time. I was responding to a comment about how Richardson is being persecuted by the white boys of letsrun this applies calls for the punishment to be stood are racially charged which I don't think they are I am trying to say this is not a white people vs Richardson arguement

wow she certainly is on steroids.every single muscle ripples.

lrc actually hates weed more than black people

I disagree. I think LRC message board posters hate them equally. Plus they have not yet received their virtue signaling cue from Trump.

I don't care what you and others support.

Sha'Carri is just another dirty athlete.

Marijuana is a drug.

Advil is not on a banned sheet.

I'm glad there are people out there who crack down on dope to combat human trash like you and your friends who like to smoke it.

Thank God against the Devil Weed.

I would say it’s much harder being a white American in this day and age.

Neither are black people.

The police are out there protecting us from the bad guys. You should thank them. Their jobs are very difficult.

True

She smoked weed, she shouldn't have. She crossed the line. Plain and simple.

It doesn't matter whether weed should be legal or not, is performance-enhancing or not. It's in the rules. That is something she knows, or should know.

Until the rules change, smoking weed makes you a doper.
