Olympic decision was unjust

0

To the Editor,

The Olympic gods’ decision to ban Sha’Carri Richardson for a positive test for marijuana is a shameless injustice to a talented runner. I have run well over 60,000 miles on our Island in the past 43 years, and worked to get signatures on the ballot for cannabis legalization.

There are not many guarantees in life, but here’s one: Cannabis is NOT an athletic-performance-enhancing drug. A disastrous decision that ruined a promising career.
