In April of this year, she blew up when she ran a new personal best of 10.72 seconds. This timing made her the sixth fastest woman of all time and the fourth-fastest American woman in history.  

She qualified for the Tokyo 2020 Olympics with a time of 10.86, winning the US Olympic Trials. On July 1st, the tables turned, as Sha’Carri Richardson tested positive for THC (The main component found in cannabis). 

She got suspended and was unable to race at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics. Americans went on a frenzy on social media. Some defended her actions, while others condemned her.
