The athlete confessed to using cannabis as a coping mechanism after the death of her mother.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cDr. Dabber,\u201d a vaping company, offered Richardson $250,000 to be a spokesperson for the company.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p>On its <a href=\"https:\/\/www.drdabber.com\/pages\/about-us\">website<\/a>, the company described its goal. \u201cWe want to create portable vaporizers that are convenient and reliable, yet potent and effective. Vaporizers that are stylish enough to use anywhere but stealthy enough to keep a low profile. Something that isn\u2019t just a novelty, but a justifiable replacement for all other methods. We want to change the way people enjoy their concentrates,\u201d it said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The offer was addressed to Richardson and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tmz.com\/2021\/07\/14\/shacarri-richardson-offered-250k-spokesperson-weed-vape-company\/?adid=%20partner-bossip\"><span class=\"s1\">obtained<\/span><\/a> by TMZ. It noted that the company was \u201csaddened to learn of your recent suspension from the US Track and Field team, due to THC and missing the opportunity to compete at the 2021 Tokyo Olympic Games.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cAt Dr. Dabber,\u201d the company added, \u201cwe believe that THC can actually have many positive effects on an athlete\u2019s recovery and overall mental wellbeing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The company went on, \u201cConsidering your talent and grace over these past weeks, we would love to offer you the opportunity to work with our team as a spokesperson for Dr. Dabber. This entails testing our award-winning dab rigs and vape pens as a resident \u2018doctor.&#8217;\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Various politicians and members of the public have voiced concern and disapproval over Richardson\u2019s suspension.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> As The Daily Wire <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/500000-plus-sign-petition-calling-for-olympics-to-reinstate-shacarri-after-testing-positive-for-marijuana\">reported<\/a>, \u201ca petition from MoveOn asking for Richardson to be a participant in the Tokyo Olympics has garnered more than&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/sports\/2021\/07\/06\/petition-to-let-shacarri-richardson-run-in-olympics-garners-over-500k-signatures\/\">half a million<\/a> signatures \u2014 560,000 [last week.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u201cThe petition <a href=\"https:\/\/sign.moveon.org\/petitions\/let-sha-carri-run\">says<\/a> Richardson\u2019s suspension is predicated on an \u2018outdated and arbitrarily enforced rule around marijuana,&#8217;\u201d per The Daily Wire.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">As The Daily Wire <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/anti-doping-agency-responds-to-aocs-claim-that-its-marijuana-guidelines-are-racist\"><span class=\"s1\">reported<\/span><\/a> this week, Representatives Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) and Jamie Raskin (D-MD) sent a <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/RepAOC\/status\/1411121868795518977\/photo\/3\"><span class=\"s1\">letter<\/span><\/a>&nbsp;to the heads of the USADA and World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) to express their \u201cdismay\u201d over the one-month suspension of Richardson for the use of marijuana and of other suspensions that have occurred this year because of marijuana use.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">They said that the \u201csuspension is the result of USADA\u2019s antiquated prohibition on the use of cannabis products by U.S. athletes,\u201d adding that the marijuana ban \u201cis a significant and unnecessary burden on athletes\u2019 civil liberties.\u201d<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Most notably, perhaps, they claimed that the prohibition of marijuana alongside the different treatment of alcohol use and other drugs \u201creflects anti-drug laws and policies that have historically targeted Black and Brown communities while largely condoning drug use in white communities.\u201d<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">They added, \u201cAnti-marijuana laws have a particularly ugly history of systemic racism,\u201d without acknowledging that all inclinations show that the rules apply to relevant athletes and have no apparent basis in discrimination.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Witold Banka, a former international-level athlete, and president of WADA wrote back to the representatives, saying that \u201cthe U.S. has been one of the most vocal and strong advocates for including cannabinoids on the Prohibited List. The meeting minutes and written submissions received from the U.S. over nearly two decades, in particular from USADA, have consistently advocated for cannabinoids to be included on the Prohibited List.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Banka added, \u201cThus, the argument that some have advanced indicating that U.S. anti-doping stakeholders are bound by antiquated thinking regarding the Prohibited List is not supported by the facts.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><i><span>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
