Overview

  • Surveillance footage from Seattle–Tacoma International Airport captures Richardson pushing her boyfriend, Christian Coleman, into a column during a domestic dispute on July 27.
  • Richardson competed in the 100m heats at the US Trials in Eugene, Oregon, before withdrawing ahead of the semifinals and then pulling out of the 200m event.
  • Airport police detained her overnight after a Transportation Security Administration supervisor flagged the incident, but she was released without formal charges and Coleman did not file a complaint.
  • Local prosecutors are examining the arrest report and video evidence while Richardson’s legal situation remains unresolved.
  • Despite her Trials exit, the reigning 100m world champion maintains an automatic wildcard entry for the World Championships in Tokyo scheduled for September.
