Sprints sensation Sha'Carri Richardson voiced her opinion on Tobi Amusan's alleged doping violation case.

US champion and sprints sensation Sha'Carri Richardson has shown her support to Tobi Amusan on the Nigerian's alleged doping violations case.

Amusan became a topic of online discussion when she released a statement on her Instagram page that she had been charged with an alleged doping violation rule by the Athletics Integrity Unit (AIU).  

In the statement, Amusan said the AIU had charged her for missing three tests in the space of 12 months, which is a doping violation that has now led the AIU to provisionally suspend her until the case is cleared.

Richardson will later show her support to Amusan by posting pictures of the women's 100m Hurdles World Record (WR) on her Instagram stories, and one of the captions reading:

"If you don't know which a lot of y'all do not, SHUT UP," wrote Richardson.
