It started from an evil plot, and now this plot is affecting our future.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He continued, \u201cSo many of our brothers, sisters, mothers, daughters and sons are rotting in jail for marijuana and it\u2019s JUST NOT RIGHT. Now, to see them using this against a young Black woman that is on the edge of her greatness, all because some white men decided to make illegal is shameful. Let me be very clear, marijuana does not make you run faster. That\u2019s a fact. This whole situation is bullshit, and if they let Michael Phelps swim, they should let her run!\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Said from LOVE with love. \ud83d\udda4 <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/LETHERRUN?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#LETHERRUN<\/a> <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/dZLzLI9c7j\">pic.twitter.com\/dZLzLI9c7j<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 LOVE (@Diddy) <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Diddy\/status\/1412983835734822912?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">July 8, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>But according to<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.usatoday.com\/story\/news\/factcheck\/2021\/07\/07\/fact-check-phelps-richardsons-use-weed-cant-compared\/7845013002\/\"> <em>USA Today,<\/em> <\/a>the Michael Phelps and Sha\u2019carri Richardson comparison lacks context. Phelps, who has won 28 Olympic gold medals, used marijuana in 2008, months after that year\u2019s Olympics.\u00a0 Richardson, on the other hand, used marijuana\u00a0on the eve of the U.S. Olympic trials, held June 19 in Eugene, Oregon.<\/p>\n<p>Consequently, she received a one-month suspension after testing positive for THC, which the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency considers a \u201csubstance of abuse.\u201d\u00a0The suspension has a retroactive date to June 28, disqualifying her from competing in the 100-meter race in Tokyo.<\/p>\n<p>The U.S. Anti-Doping Agency follows the World Anti-Doping Agency\u2019s code for substance use that prohibits marijuana during the \u201cin-competition\u201d period, which begins before midnight on the day before a competition the athlete is scheduled to participate and continues \u201cuntil the end of the competition and the sample collection process.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Richardson ingested the weed before the competition, which wasn\u2019t the case for Phelps.<\/p>\n<p>Regardless, the ban has elicited quite the response across the globe. Everyone from Drake and Snoop Dogg to Cardi B and now Diddy are in her corner. Blueface\u2019s manager Wack 100 was among the few who slammed Richardson, saying she \u201cfailed us a people.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"author\" itemprop=\"author\" itemscope itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/Person\">\n<meta itemprop=\"name\" content=\"Kyle Eustice\"><br \/>\nby Kyle Eustice\n<\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
