That they ignored testing positive for steroids but banned her for pot is ridiculous. If they thought she was good for the sport and wanted to let her off the hook, they would have not even analyzed her sample so she could have competed in Tokyo.
These conspiracy theories always have the assumption of absolute idiocy of the culprits. If there was a whistle-blower, there would be a major scandals resulting in lost jobs. If she wasn't going to run in Tokyo anyway, what be the motivation to horse around with the test results?
Conspiracy theory makes sense because of who Sha'Carri seems to be.
if the ban were really about marijuana, she would have sha'carried on about how it was "f'in bull" and how they are "haterz tryin to hold her down".
there is no way that she handles a legit ban for weed with the grace that she did. no way.
and then, on top of that, she comes back and she sucks?
no they covered up her ped use.
That's actually a great point lol

WTF kind of a carp clickbait title is this.
11.19.(-1.0) same time as winner Oliver is not a super-fast time, ut tying for a win late in the season does not suck.
This is faster than her natural ability. She is ALREADY on her way back. This is her pumped residual neutral, somewhere around 11.15 basic. A very hood launch point for her upcoming 2022 assault.
Will she ever match 2021 ET? I don’t think so. I do think she can get 10.6x, which will be tough for even ET to match/beat unless it really is open season in JAM again.
"A very hood launch point for her upcoming 2022 assault."
Are you predicting she will be committing crimes in 2022?

Run really fast, get caught for an unrelated drug, come back 6 weeks later and run 3 much slower races is a little fishy. I’m not saying it’s definitely PEDs, but it seems strange unless she took the whole time off from training.
To the site being racist comment, yes there are some racists on the board. There are way more people that just don’t like her personality, but are fans of Mu, McLaughlin, Wilson, Felix, etc.
And I don't buy the whole "slacked off on training" narrative. She wanted to come back and make a statement, not get left in the dust. She had nearly 2 months of uninterrupted training for Pre. What's the excuse for these last 3 races? No weed? Maybe it is performance enhancing? That or something else is going on...
Or it's just coincidence, who knows??? Whatever...Let's argue some more...Blah, Blah, Buh-Blah...
Lol

Just because she has the talent (and access to extra "help.") to run 10.6x doesn't mean she has the mental capacity to make it happen. She has shown thus far that she is unable to handle pressure and now that the spotlight is on her (now more so than ever because of the fool she has made of herself) there will always be pressure on her. You'll have the folks like you who think she can run fast and will always say "wait until next race, next season, next Olympics etc. The expectations from her fan base will take a while to return to something reasonable. And there will be others who will clown her and point out EVERY flaw, mistake and failure. She's done this to her own self. This is what happens when you beg people to watch you and then don't deliver.

Yup. The narrative by EVERYBODY in Sha'Carri's camp prior to Prefontaine was "she has trained hard, she has been working on her start, she is motivated and looking forward to showing the world what they missed." The moment the race was over, it became "she had a month off, she didn't have the opportunity to train the way she wanted to, the suspension was really deflating....."
Not that hard to say "I was wrong about Sha'Carri."
The IOC was very clear on their position with Ms Richardson.
Nike is trying hard with these latest appearances.
AIU is waiting around the corner .
She tried to be a game changer but took the “ street route”, it backfired.
No. She used to run fast if you have forgotten.
Funny that you didn't point out Brianna Williams at 11.44. Isn't she Jamaica's next big hope?
She's also 2 years younger and actually medaled in the Olympics.

Is it funny? I don’t see anyone laughing.
Brianna is a 10.97 runner. I don’t expect solo world beating performances from her and she never made outrageous claims she couldn’t back up. She didn’t try to insinuate that the olympics would’ve been different if she ran the 100m or that her being in the sport is pushing others to run faster, only to then finish last in her next race.
Plus, she has an Olympic gold, Shakira has a few collegiate medals and participation trophies.
I'm glad she's racing and hopefully learning from her races at the pro level to improve. It's what she needs to go through. I'm glad her comments aren't what's headline. Best of luck to her. Taking these losses will show what she's really made of in the future.

Maybe she was on PEDs but it definitely wasn’t a cover up. Why would they care if she got banned for PEDs? She’s not important for the sport at all.
And it’s complete BS that people want to say the site is racist. I feel like I’m like most people here, I cant stand Richardson because she’s obnoxious and not a likable personality. Nothing to do with her race.
For the record she has lost 4 in a row
