- Richardson, an American sprinter, is subject to an anti-doping program that is actually competent

- Richardson tested positive for THC and was banned in a span of nine days
BEIJING – The International Olympic Committee is correct in saying there are differences between the cases of Sha’Carri Richardson and Kamila Valieva.
Richardson is subject to an anti-doping program that is actually competent, designed and operated with the sole intention of keeping sport clean. Valieva is ... not.
“We did what we were required to do. What clean athletes, the federal government, (the World Anti-Doping Agency) and the IOC expects anti-doping agencies to do, which is follow the rules,” Travis Tygart, CEO of the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency, told USA TODAY Sports on Wednesday.
