Richardson mentioned at the ESPY introduction

Either change the rule or follow the rule.

I don't think weed should be illegal or a rule here.

But I do follow rules.

For real. frick that shite

RIP in rehab?

It was fricking stupid on her part.

She has said that herself.

quote:

She could have just not smoked for like 2 months

She had not smoked for far longer than that before her mother passed away, as I understand it.

fricking idiot.

You are an arse. Her biological mom had just died

(I'm) not making an excuse or looking for any empathy in my case, but, however, being in that position in my life, finding out something like that, something that I would say is probably one of the biggest things that have impacted me ... that definitely was a very heavy topic on me," she said.

"People don’t understand what it’s like to have to … go in front of the world and put on a face and hide my pain. Who am I to tell you how to cope when you’re dealing with the pain or you’re dealing with a struggle that you haven’t experienced before or that you thought you never would have to deal with?"

She went to say later

quote:

---

"I apologize," she said. "As much as I’m disappointed, I know that when I step on the track, I don’t represent myself. I represent a community that has shown me great support, great love, and I failed you all. So I apologize for the fact that I didn’t know how to control my emotions or deal with my emotions.

"I greatly apologize if I let you guys down, and I did."

A lot of people have made a big deal about it only being weed, yada yada. She never has. Never used race, never used anything, just said she screwed up.

100%.

Its not like this was an unknown rule.

Its not like she didn't know she would be tested.

It was fricking stupid on her part. She could have just not smoked for like 2 months and she'd have a gold medal. fricking idiot.

But...it's not addictive.

You can have a dick and balls and compete against girls but you can't have a vagina, THC in your system and compete against girls.

Never smoked it, huh?

Addictive brain chemistry is a whole different thing.

Weed, in and of itself...nope.

Can proudly say I’ve never watched ESPYs and apparently the number of people who don’t is growing exponentially

Not at all but it separates her from those who try to make their reason for doing so a reason they should be exempt from the consequences.

I’m too hungover to understand this
