Three years and plenty of heartache later, Sha'Carri Richardson is again on the cusp of an Olympic bid.
The 24-year old rose to prominence as an NCAA champion in the 100m dash, becoming one of LSU's greatest sprinters in the process. She carried that momentum to a place on Team USA for the 2021 Tokyo Olympics, only to see the opportunity vanish after she was suspended for a positive marijuana test in the lead-up to the Summer Games.
