Celebrities and politicians are calling on Joe Biden to show support for track & field star Sha’Carri Richardson following her suspension for smoking marijuana.

The 30-day suspension means Richardson is out of the Tokyo Olympics where she was the favorite to win a gold medal in the 100-meter dash.

Republican congressman Matt Gaetz tweeted Friday:

“The press who love to bathe in the intersectionality of race-gender-sports should ask @JoeBiden if he believes Sha’carri Richardson should be barred from representing America for using a drug legal in most states that doesn’t impact performance.

I sure as hell don’t.”

Last week, Biden showed support for disgraced track and field athlete Gwen Berry after she turned her back on the American flag at the U.S. trials.

So far, the 46th president has not responded to Richardson’s 30-day suspension.

Other celebrities and notables who defended Richardson include actress Gabrielle Union who tweeted:

“Weed is great for many a thing but running faster isn’t one of them. LET HER RUN!!! #ShacarriRichardson.”

And ex-ESPN journo Jemele Hill tweeted:

“Between Sha’Carri Richardson and this, the Olympics really are sending quite the message to black women.”

Sponsor Nike is standing by its athlete: “We appreciate Sha’Carri’s honesty and accountability and will continue to support her through this time.”

Others noted say the suspension is karma for Richardson’s anti-Lil Nas X tweet in March.
