Back to the old ways? Well, the US Anti-Doping Agency is going hard on curbing unfair practices in the sport once again. Much needed or are they pushing it a little too further? Here’s where the divided opinion comes in. An array of athletes, from Usain Bolt to Noah Lyles, and Sha’Carri Richardson have time and again weighed in on the practice of repeated testing. But turns out, Richardson is going through it practically again, in 2025. And here’s her honest reaction to it.
In 2024, while Richardson was in the heart of France for the Paris Olympics, and was shooting for Nike, it was still her turn to get tested as per the anti-doping schedule. Even previously, around April 2024, she had to go through a USADA drug test in the thick of the Easter holidays. While that may have been frustrating in itself, she was summoned for another one just 48 hours later. But probably remembering her Tokyo doping debacle, she abided by the demand. Fast forward to February 2025 now and turns out nothing has changed.
In an Instagram story uploaded by Sha’Carri Richardson on February 17, the Paris Olympics 100m silver medalist added a boomerang of her posing outdoors in a Nike crop top. With a wide smile on her face, she penned the story with a caption that says it all. “Clean, Clean, Clean” she wrote, which with the smile, is connecting the dots that her she may have cleared her doping tests.
Yes, as reported by Track Spiece on February 17, Sha’Carri Richardson got herself dr-g tested thrice this month. In another one of her Instgram boomerangs that Track Spiece uploaded with the post, Richardson is the seen making the ‘peace’ sign with her finger as she writes, “Durg test 3 of this month [sparkel emoji.]” And now the story, leads us to think that she may have been cleared of all the 3 tests for sure.
