Dragon 1,702 Posted July 2, 2021 #1711 Share Posted July 2, 2021 45 minutes ago, Nickyc707 said: GB tennis player Dan Evans who is going to Tokyo was banned for a year for cocaine use. "Evans was banned from playing professional tennis due to testing positive for cocaine in April 2017. Evans claims that he took a relatively small amount of cocaine out of competition, but that some permitted medication he was taking was then 'contaminated' by the cocaine because he accidentally put the leftover cocaine in the pocket of his washbag, thus testing positive in-competition. Evans was eligible to return to the professional circuit on 24 April 2018, having completed a one-year ban." Sounds like Richardson may get off much more lightly even if she does miss the OG. She could get away with as little as a public warning but it's automatic disqualification from the US trials whatever, so goodbye Tokyo... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunadan 1,103 Posted July 2, 2021 #1716 Share Posted July 2, 2021 But her Trials results are cancelled? Isn't USATF legally forced to choose the top 3? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phelps 6,872 Posted July 2, 2021 #1717 Share Posted July 2, 2021 I think USATF is not legally forced to choose the top 3 in each event, but it might be that if they don't do it, they open some kind of Pandora's Vase and a lot of lawsuits could be filed... the 2 with the highest interest in this case are Jenna Prandini (who was 4th and could get a place among the 3 starters in the 100m individual race) and above all, Aleia Hobbs, who finished 7th and could be selected at least as a reserve for the relay instead of being out at 100%... will be an interesting next 4 weeks or so...

It's a pity, it would have been an amazing story. Yet, the effort itself deserves all the praise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
