# Athletics: US sprint star Sha’Carri Richardson was at the centre of a new controversy on Friday after it emerged she was arrested for allegedly assaulting her boyfriend Christian Coleman shortly before this week’s US Track and Field Championships in Oregon. Richardson was detained and released following the incident, which the police report described as domestic violence, in the latest controversy to embroil Richardson during her career. She was infamously barred from competing at the Tokyo Olympics in 2021 after testing positive for marijuana. In 2023, she was removed from an American Airlines flight after an argument with a flight attendant.
