Travel restrictions and season season. As you may have seen, Shakary Richardson, an athlete who is an absolute star

and was the favorite to win the 100 meter dash, the gold medal and the 100 meter race and the Olympics that are just a few weeks away

appears to have just been suspended and will likely miss most or all of the Olympics. For smoking weed, her mother just died.

She openly just said it or heard just a few moments ago on the today show that she did it to help her cope with the death.

And now she's been banned from the Olympics. It's not just that.

Soon after that announcement was made, the International Olympic Committee announced that they are banning swimming caps

that black women use for their natural hair. My family experiences this all the time because two of the girls are in swimming lessons and they literally can't get the caps on their head because of the size and texture of their hair.

And the Olympics are banning those caps that they can get over their natural hair.

Let me unpack and explain it all. It's frustrating, it's anti-black, yes it is. This is Sean King and you were listening to...

The Break Down.

Moments ago it was announced, you may have seen the news last night that they were saying that Shakira Richardson failed a drug test and it was immediately released that it had nothing to do with steroids and soon leaked that it had something to do with weed or cannabis marijuana or whatever you want to call it.

And she is going to be banned for at least 30 days. It could be longer and that is an issue there. But there are a couple of issues here.

This is a woman who just won the Olympic trials, came in first place and on the spot learned that her mother passed away.

And in her grief, in the state that she lives in where marijuana is legal, in her grief she smoked weed.

Black people have been smoking weed for generations in great part to deal with grief, to deal with pain, to deal with trauma.

And it should not only be normalized to use it to deal with grief, pain and trauma. It should be fully decriminalized, fully legalized and listen.

This should then reach out to every policy. And clearly it is fully legal in Oregon. But was not fully legal for her.

Consequently, then it's not fully legal. And while it's fully legal in 18 states, it's not fully legal in 32 others. It should be it's ridiculous.

No one has ever died of a drug overdose from weed. It is also not actually what they say it is. I just read the rules from the International Olympic Committee and the American Olympic Committee.
