Unconventional Voices of Track & Field
Episode 6 - The Craziest Week in Track & Field History
In arguably the craziest week in in Track & Field history, Jade and Anson unpack all the top stories, astonishing results, the highs, and the lows of a week (or three) filled with drama, and fueled by emotion.
One of the most talked about stories this week was that of Sha'Carri Richardson - US Champion and Olympic gold medal favourite. She tested positive for a prohibited substance soon after winning the US Trials and booking her trip to Tokyo. She subsequently received a one month ban, meaning she will miss the Olympics altogether. The response sent shockwaves through the world of Track & Field - AND BEYOND - making it one of the biggest drugs "scandals" in Track & Field history! What was she banned for? WEED!?!
