Richardson was disqualified from this year's Olympics after it was announced that she tested positive for THC, a chemical found in marijuana.

After being suspended from the Tokyo Olympics after testing positive for THC, a chemical found in marijuana, Richardson is back and ready to race this Saturday at the 2021 Prefontaine Classic.

She will compete against Jamaican medalists Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce, Shericka Jackson, Elaine Thompson-Herah and several others in Eugene, Oregon, during the women's 100-meter.
