FS1 host Emmanuel Acho may have had the worst take on the Sha’Carri Richardson situation and the Internet immediately crushed him for it.
On Thursday night, it was revealed that Richardson would not be able to compete at the Tokyo Olympics in the 100m race after she tested positive for marijuana and received a 30 day suspension.
According to a source, American sprinter Sha'Carri Richardson failed a drug test and could miss Olympics. The @JamaicaGleaner was first.

Richardson took responsibility for the suspension and revealed that she ingested marijuana after learning about the death of her biological mother during the Olympic trials.

While debating whether or not she should have been suspended, Acho delivered a bizarre take on the situation.
Legalizing weed in track and field competition is all good if you’re running in a straight line.
Legalizing weed in track and field competition is terribly dangerous if you throw the javelin.
Where do we draw line.

Acho’s take didn’t go over well on the Internet.

Right. Because someone may spark a blunt right before they pick up a javelin. And then murder someone due to wild, weed-induced inaccuracy. https://t.co/4Q0q335JX4

The only thing that can stop a bad guy with a javelin is a good guy with a javelin. https://t.co/SJJfQb1e96
