to the report, the U.S. State Department condemned Russia\u2019s actions and classified Griner as wrongfully detained. The office of U.S. Special Presidential Envoy for Hostage Affairs is working on the WNBA player\u2019s case. Griner, a two-time Olympic gold medalist, can serve up to 10 years if convicted.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt remains clear that Brittney Griner is being used as a political pawn and it is imperative that President Biden do whatever is necessary to return Brittney home quickly and safely.\u201d Colas said.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Last week, the Women\u2019s National Basketball Players Association (WNBPA) marked the 100th day of her detention in Russia by renewing calls for Griner\u2019s release.\n                        <\/p><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
