The judgment of the Russian figure skater Kamila Valieva’s failed drug test has raised concerns. The consistency in decisions seems to bother most athletes and want better clarity given to them.
Sha’Carri Richardson is one athlete who has a clear case for that result. She missed the Tokyo Olympics 2020 after testing positive by the World Anti-Doping Agency. Likewise, they banned her as she was not able to compete for 30 days.

Hence, the dream of appearing in sprinting competitions never happened. Posting the sixth-fastest time in the 100-meters before that, she had what it takes to become a superstar. But, things went out of hand.
Sha’Carri Richardson unhappy with the decision

This has irked Richardson stating how the double standards are coming into play. The inconsistencies in decision-making are visible for everyone to see. Richardson spoke about her name getting tarnished, as she is unhappy with the Olympic Committee for allowing the figure skater to compete.
“Failed in December and the world just now know however my resulted was posted within a week and my name & talent was slaughtered to the people,” said Richardson.

The sport’s court of arbitration stated it “would cause her irreparable harm,” to the young athlete. Richardson, on the other hand, had a tough time before the Tokyo Olympics, losing her mother, which sent her into a downward spiral of emotions. She faced a ban for a month after she failed her doping test, which caused her to lose her Olympic spot. Richardson has questioned the process leading to her disqualification.

With everything said and done, Richardson would love to shut down all the criticizers as she looks to dominate 2022. After the Tokyo Olympics got postponed due to the pandemic, the World Athletics Championships had to be postponed to 2022. Likewise, the venue is in Eugene, Oregon. It sounds important for her to stamp her authority in the competition. She is one of the best sprinters in the world and would hope to provide a stellar performance.
Richardson will hope to put her disappointing 2021 behind her and look forward to a brighter future. Can she win the sprinting competitions in 2022?
