She is the fastest woman in the world and favorite to win the 100m event in Paris
Richardson is the fastest woman in the world and favorite to win the coveted 100m event at this year’s Games.
She was denied the chance to compete in the delayed Tokyo Olympics in 2021, after she was suspended from Team USA.

Amid the ensuing scandal, the sprinter said she used the drug to cope with ’emotional panic’, after being told that her biological mother had recently died.
