In 2021, Richardson was banned from competing in the Tokyo Olympics after he tested positive for THC, a chemical found in the drug marijuana. She accepted a one-month suspension from the United States Anti-Doping Agency, making her ineligible for the 100 meters. She was also not selected for the 4×100 relay team.
The sprinter made her Olympic debut in Paris in 2024, winning gold in the women’s 4x100m relay and silver in the 100m.
