The American sprinter was tipped for gold at the Tokyo Games before failing a drugs test

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.

Richardson was tipped to win gold before she tested positive for THC, a chemical found in marijuana.

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.
