BALTIMORE, MD — A north Baltimore church posted a message of acceptance and approval for star sprinter Sha'Carri Richardson, who was suspended after she tested positive for marijuana. "SHA'CARRI RICHARDSON YOU ARE STILL THAT GIRL #LEGALIZE," read the Pleasant Hope Baptist Church leaderboard last week. The failed test and resulting suspension could jeopardize the 21-year-old's chance at this month's Tokyo Olympics. Richardson has explained that she used marijuana to cope after learning of her mother's death from a reporter. Read more from CBS Baltimore.
