White House press secretary Jen Psaki told CNN on Wednesday that it might be time to review anti-doping rules in sports after Sha'Carri Richardson was left off the relay team late Tuesday.
Richardson, a medal favorite for the 100-meter dash at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics this month, tested positive for marijuana use and was disqualified from her signature race. Her one-month ban expires ahead of the games, but USA Track & Field (USATF) declined to select her to its 4x100 relay team.
It officially ended her chance of competing at the Olympics.
"It does stink," Psaki told CNN's John Berman of "New Day" on Wednesday. "I don't think there's a better definition of it."
Psaki: Take another look at the rules Richardson, 21, confirmed that she ingested marijuana days before the U.S. Olympic trials in Eugene, Oregon, where it is legal. She told the Today Show last week that she took the substance after learning of her mother's death.
"We know the rules are where they are. Maybe we should take another look at them," Psaki said on CNN. "We certainly have to respect the role of the U.S. Anti Doping Agency (USADA) and the U.S. Olympic Committee and the decisions they make. But it is sad, and we do wish her luck and look forward to seeing her running as the fastest woman in the world for years to come."
