AOC says Olympic ban on marijuana is 'instrument' of racism following Black track star's suspension
Fox News
New York Democrat Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez claimed Friday the rule barring marijuana use during the Olympic races was an “instrument of racist and colonial policy."
Richardson, a Black woman from Texas, was given a one-month suspension, which precludes her ability to race the 100 in Tokyo but means she could still be in the running for the women’s relay race, as the trial will not be held until after July 27. The 21-year old runner’s suspension was reduced to one month from three because she agreed to participate in a counseling program.More Related News
