Rebecca Washington Is Not Replacing Sha’Carri Richardson
Emerging story
On July 2nd, a Twitter account called Victory News Network posted a claim that track star Sha’Carri Richardson would be replaced on the U.S. Track and Field team with a Mormon athlete named Rebecca Washington, who came in 4th in early Olympic trials. The post claims that Washington “hopes to help inspire the nation's children to say ‘no’ to drugs,” and that Jesus Christ put her on the Olympic team.
The claim follows last week’s news that Richardson has been penalized for testing positive for marijuana, which prevents her from competing in this year’s Olympics.
