Christian Coleman defended fellow sprinter Sha’Carri Richardson after she was reportedly arrested for pushing Coleman, saying on Sunday that she was a “great person”.
Reigning 100 metres world champion Richardson was arrested for domestic violence at a Seattle airport ahead of the U.S. Track & Field Championships, USA TODAY Sports reported on Friday.
According to a police report obtained by USA TODAY Sports, the 25-year-old, who won Olympic silver in the 100 at the Paris Games, allegedly pushed Coleman, who then fell into a nearby column after an argument.
Richardson was detained on the evening of July 27 and released the following day, USA TODAY Sports reported.
