The COVIDLympics, Day -22: Three champions out...

• Mo Farah, two-time defending double-champion in the 5000 and 10000 meters, will not be going to Tokyo, failing to qualify in either event.  He is not slating to retire, however -- he's looking forward to Paris.
• That's a better story, however, than 2019 women's 400m sprint champion Salwa Eid Naser of Bahrain, who stunned the world by running the fastest time in over 30 years to win the title in Qatar.  She is out of Tokyo, banned by the CAS, the IAAF, and WADA for failing to submit to proper drug-testing (failing proper paperwork or to present herself  prior to the 2019 World Championships, and a fourth offense in early 2020 as well -- which could result in her title and her time being nullified (she was actually already under investigation when she ran the race)), as well as her disqualification for two years.
• And even that may be better than the IAAF's bigotry victory over Caster Semenya, the 2016 800m women's winner who has been banned from everything middle-distance due to Differences in Sexual Development.  She was unable to meet any standard at the closest race she could run at these Games, 5000m, and is, hence, out of Tokyo.  She will continue in court to try to overturn the DSD rules of the IAAF which mean she could only run at 100, 200, 5000, or 10000 meters.
• In what may well be the key statistic for the Tokyo Games:  Full vaccination in Tokyo now stands at only 12%.
• A major drug-test announcement for the United States:  Reports have 100-meter favorite Sha'Carri Richardson expelled from the 100 meter Tokyo field, her trials time disqualified because she failed the US Olympic Trials drug test for a trace of marijuana.  She faces a 30-day suspension for the offense under WADA rules.  This very easily could expel her from the Games entirely.  The original source was a Jamaican newspaper -- but another source says she can still complete in the 4X100 -- but how's that possible when you qualify for the 4X100 by getting a sufficient standard and placing in an event from which she has now been apparently disqualified???   
• If this report is correct, Jenna Prandini would make her second Olympics.
