World 100m champion misses USATF Champs after incident with boyfriend and fellow sprinter Christian Coleman at airport in Seattle
Sha'Carri Richardson has been arrested for allegedly assaulting Christian Coleman, her boyfriend and world indoor 60m record-holder, at the Seattle-Tacoma International Airport.
Richardson, 25, was arrested with a fourth-degree domestic violence offence according to the police report.
On Thursday (July 31), she ran in the heats of the 100m at the USATF Championships in Eugene, Oregon, clocking a season's best of 11.07 (1.3), but pulled out of further races.
The police report refers to the two athletes getting into a verbal altercation as they passed through security and also pushing each other before Richardson appeared to throw a pair of headphones at Coleman.
As reigning world champion from Budapest 2023, she has an automatic bye to the World Championships in September in Tokyo.
