Sebastian Coe backs reviewing marijuana rules in doping

Sebastian Coe wants to ensure what happened this month to American sprinter Sha’Carri Richardson won’t knock another athlete out of the Olympics in the future. Richardson, who won the 100 meters at the U.S. trials last month, didn’t travel to Japan for the Tokyo Games after being caught smoking marijuana. Coe, the president of international track body World Athletics, said Tuesday the absence of the 21-year-old Richardson is “a loss to the competition” and added he supports a review of marijuana’s status as a doping substance in light of her case. from RSSMix.com Mix ID 8260652 https://ift.tt/3l2BRd9

IOC's Bach gets mixed reaction in one-day visit to Hiroshima

IOC President Thomas Bach got a mixed reception in his visit on Friday to Hiroshima to mark the first day of the so-called Olympic Truce. Such a one-day visit by a dignitary would ordinarily be routine a week ahead, but the Olympics are set to open next week with Tokyo under a state of emergency and with a substantial part of the population opposed to the Games being held during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Cambage posted a statement on social media Friday to say the prospect of having no friends, no family, no fans and no support system outside of the women's basketball squad during the Olympics is “honestly terrifying for me.” from RSSMix.com Mix ID 8260652 https://ift.tt/3ikv3F1
