Up On My Soapbox.....

I am so sick and tired of all the whining about poor American sprinter Sha'Carri Richardson for being disqualified from the Olympics.
I am sorry that her mother passed away, but I am not the least bit sorry that she was kicked off the Olympic team.
She choose to smoke marijuana knowing full well it was a banned substance and did it anyway.
(at least that is my understanding of the story)
People do stupid things, but just because you are a nice, talented athlete doesn't mean you should get a pass for doing something stupid/illegal for your sport.

Especially when they are banning black athletes (not white you notice) due to their NATURAL testosterone levels and that is disgraceful!!

Casey and I were discussing this last night. I think there's more to the story.

I remember there was a Black Trans athlete that they either banned or tried to ban.
Not sure if it was the testosterone excuse or not.
