Sprinter Sha'carri Richardson, who finished first in the 100 meters in the U.S. Olympic trials and was a medal favorite for the Tokyo Olympics, tested positive for marijuana, according to reports Thursday night, and will likely not be able to compete in Tokyo

Richardson reportedly tested positive for marijuana at the Trials, which would disqualify her. It’s unclear whether she could appeal and still compete in the Olympics.

Richardson posted a tweet earlier Thursday that said only, “I am human.”
