Sha’Carri Richardson Reacts to Olympic Figure Skating Drama

Tara added, “One more thought. I’ve said this before, she’s just 15. Please keep that in mind. This is a lot for a young person to deal with. I hope that whichever adults faulted her are held ACCOUNTABLE. This is heartbreaking.”

As for Johnny Weir, who offers commentary about figure skating alongside Tara, he also can’t condone the decision.

“There was a positive drug test, therefore the athlete who tested positive, at fault or not, regardless of age or timing of test/result, should not be allowed to compete against clean athletes,” he said. “I know that the news has overshadowed the tremendous performances of the ice dancers, but congratulations to our illustrious skaters who lived their dreams in front of the world. You were magnificent.”
