"The only difference I see is I'm a black young lady," U.S. sprinter Sha'Carri Richardson said, after the Russian figure skater is allowed to compete at the Olympics despite a failed drug test.

Critics are outraged, saying the anti-doping agency for the Games is ignoring the actions of the white athlete on the heels of suspending the Black sprinter this month.

The 21-year-old was left off the U.S. Track & Field Olympic roster, despite her astonishing performance at last month's trials, due to a 30-day suspension following a positive drug test for THC.
