   Stupid niggers.   
      
   KINGSTON (Reuters) - American sprinter Sha'Carri Richardson has   
   tested positive for cannabis, sources have told Reuters, and she   
   is unlikely to get the chance to challenge for the Olympic 100   
   metres title in Tokyo later this month.   
      
   According to one source familiar with the matter, the positive   
   test came at the U.S. Olympic trials last month where Richardson   
   established herself as a gold medal contender by winning the   
   100m in 10.86 seconds.   
      
   A positive test during the trials would mean all of Richardson's   
   results from the meet would be wiped out, voiding her victory in   
   the 100m final.   
      
   Another source familiar with the matter said that Jenna   
   Prandini, who finished fourth in the final, had already been   
   approached to run for the U.S. in the 100m in Tokyo.   
      
   Both sources requested anonymity due to the sensitivity of the   
   matter.   
      
   Calls and e-mails to Richardson's agent, Renaldo Nehemiah, the   
   U.S. Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) and U.S.A Track and Field   
   (USATF) went unanswered on Thursday.   
      
   In a cryptic tweet earlier in the day, Richardson wrote: "I am   
   human".   
      
   The 21-year-old will appear on NBC's Today Show on Friday, the   
   network confirmed to Reuters.   
      
   Richardson was billed to run in the 200m at the Stockholm   
   Diamond League meeting in Sweden this weekend but she was not on   
   the entry list for the race the meet's official website on   
   Thursday.   
      
   Cannabis is banned by the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) but if   
   athletes can prove that their ingestion of the substance was   
   unrelated to sports performance then a suspension of three   
   months rather than the usual four years is imposed.   
      
   If an athlete is willing to undertake an approved treatment   
   programme in collaboration with their national anti-doping body   
   then the ban can be reduced to one month.   
      
   The Texan was aiming to become the first American woman to win   
   the Olympic 100m title since Gail Devers in 1996 after posting   
   10.72 seconds in April - one of her five runs under 11 seconds   
   this season.   
      
   A 30-day ban backdated to the time of the adverse result could   
   leave Richardson clear to race in the 4x100m relay at the   
   Olympics on Aug. 6, if selected by USATF.   
      
   Richardson could also appeal any sanction to the Court of   
   Arbitration for Sport (CAS), as could any other sports body who   
   felt a punishment was too lenient.
