On Tuesday, the 22-year-old opened up about going on the Today show following the news of her failed drug test. She said that she wished she “never did this,” referencing the interview.

“I wish I had the choice when it was time for me to tell my story,” Richardson wrote in a retweet of the 2021 interview.

During the interview, the sprinter told Savannah Guthrie that she was aware of her decision to use marijuana.

“I know what I’m supposed to do. … I still made that decision,” she said at the time.

She explained that her biological mother had died the week before and that she used marijuana after being “blinded by emotion, blinded by bad news, blinded by just hurting, hiding hurt honestly. … I was just trying to hide my pain.”

Richardson tested positive for marijuana in Oregon, a state where the recreational use of the substance is legal. However, the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) and USA Track and Field banned the use of the substance.

Since Richardson’s suspension, she’s used her platform to talk about issues within the United States Anti-Doping Agency (USADA).

Back in February, Richardson spoke out after the International Olympic Committee (IOC) decided to allow Russian skater Kamila Valieva to participate in the Beijing Olympics after testing positive for the heart drug trimetazidine, the New York Post reports. At the time, the IOC said that as a minor, different rules apply to Valieva and that she was considered a “protected person.”

According to the New York Post, on June 18, Richardson called out the USADA’s regulations.

“Once again @usantidoping give us all these rules but can not follow themselves,” Richardson tweeted. “Stop giving us rules that y’all can bend just to get more money. The ones behind the desk who probably [have] never been a high level athlete need to be held accountable at the same level as the athletes!”

On Instagram, she also called out the agency for a lack of “transparency.”

“It’s sooo much more that these doping organizations don’t tell the public !!!” she wrote. “Give the transparency to us that you force us as athletes to give to these organizations and the TO THE PUBLIC for better understanding !!!”

Richardson is set to compete at the USATF Outdoor Championships beginning June 23 in Eugene, Oregon.
