Olympics keeps marijuana ban after review prompted by Sha’Carri Richardson suspension

The agency was asked to review the status of THC — the psychoactive ingredient in cannabis — after the case of United States sprinter Sha’Carri Richardson, who could not participate in the Olympics last year because of a one-month ban after testing positive at the national trials meet where she won the 100 meters.
