Sha'Carri Richardson, the reigning 100-meter world champion, was arrested last weekend at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport on a fourth-degree domestic violence charge. A police report obtained by the Associated Press details an altercation with her boyfriend, sprinter Christian Coleman. Airport security footage allegedly shows Richardson grabbing Coleman's backpack, obstructing his path, and shoving him into a wall. She also reportedly threw an object, possibly headphones, at him. Coleman declined to participate further in the investigation. Richardson was booked into jail Sunday evening and released Monday afternoon. USA Track and Field acknowledged the reports but declined to comment. Richardson's agent did not immediately respond to requests for comment. Despite the arrest, Richardson competed in the opening round of the women's 100 meters at the US track and field championships on Thursday and has an automatic bye to the world championships in September. This incident follows Richardson's previous positive marijuana test at the 2021 U.S. Olympic trials, which prevented her from competing in the Tokyo Olympics.
