World champion sprinter Sha'Carri Richardson arrested for allegedly assaulting boyfriend at Washington airport
The American sprinter, 25, was arrested last Sunday on a fourth-degree domestic violence offence, according to a police report obtained by The Associated Press.
That was four days before she ran in the opening round of the women's 100m event at the USA Track & Field (USATF) Championships in Eugene, Oregon.
The police report said an officer at the Seattle-Tacoma International Airport was notified by a Transportation Security Administration (TSA) supervisor of a disturbance between Richardson and her boyfriend, sprinter Christian Coleman.
It said the officer reviewed camera footage and observed Richardson reach out with her left arm and grab Coleman's backpack and yank it away.
Richardson then appeared to get in Coleman's way with Coleman trying to step around her, the report said, adding that Coleman was shoved into a wall.
The report later said Richardson appeared to throw an item at Coleman, which the TSA indicated may have been headphones.
In the police report, the officer said: "I was told Coleman did not want to participate any further in the investigation and declined to be a victim."
Richardson was booked into the South Correctional Entity (SCORE) in Des Moines, Washington, at 6.54pm last Sunday and released on Monday at 1.13pm.
"USATF is aware of the reports and is not commenting on this matter," the sport's national governing body said in a statement.
Richardson has an automatic bye to the world championships in September in Tokyo as the defending champion.

Jeffrey Epstein's former girlfriend, Ghislaine Maxwell, is transferred to a prison camp in Texas
Jeffrey Epstein 's former girlfriend, Ghislaine Maxwell, has been moved from a federal prison in Florida to a prison camp in Texas as her criminal case generates renewed public attention. The federal Bureau of Prisons said Friday that Maxwell had been transferred to Bryan, Texas, but did not explain the circumstances. Her attorney, David Oscar Markus, also confirmed the move but declined to discuss the reasons for it. Maxwell was convicted in 2021 of luring teenage girls to be sexually abused by the disgraced financier, and was sentenced to 20 years in prison. She had been held at a low-security prison in Tallahassee, Florida, until her transfer to the prison camp in Texas, where other inmates include Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes and Jen Shah of 'The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City.' Minimum-security federal prison camps house inmates the Bureau of Prisons considers to be the lowest security risk. Some don't even have fences. The prison camps were originally designed with low security to make operations easier and to allow inmates tasked with performing work at the prison, like landscaping and maintenance, to avoid repeatedly checking in and out of a main prison facility. Prosecutors have said Epstein's sex crimes could not have been done without Maxwell, but her lawyers have maintained that she was wrongly prosecuted and denied a fair trial, and have floated the idea of a pardon from President Donald Trump. They have also asked the U.S. Supreme Court to take up her case. Trump said Friday night that no one has asked him about a clemency for Maxwell. 'I'm allowed to do it but nobody's asked me to do it," he told Newsmax in an interview broadcast Friday night. "I know nothing about it. I don't know anything about the case, but I know I have the right to do it. I have the right to give pardons, I've given pardons to people before, but nobody's even asked me to do it.' Maxwell's case has been the subject of heightened public focus since an outcry over the Justice Department's statement last month saying that it would not be releasing any additional documents from the Epstein sex trafficking investigation. The decision infuriated online sleuths, conspiracy theorists and elements of Trump's base who had hoped to see proof of a government cover-up. Since then, administration officials have tried to cast themselves as promoting transparency in the case, including by requesting from courts the unsealing of grand jury transcripts. Maxwell, meanwhile, was interviewed at a Florida courthouse over two days last week by Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche and the House Oversight Committee had also said that it wanted to speak with Maxwell. Her lawyers said this week that they would be open to an interview but only if the panel were to ensure immunity from prosecution. In the Newsmax interview, Trump said he did not know when Blanche would disclose to the public what he and Maxwell discussed during the interviews. 'I think he just wants to make sure that innocent people aren't hurt, but you'd have to speak to him about it,' Trump said. In a letter Friday to Maxwell's lawyers, Rep. James Comer, the committee chair, wrote that the committee was willing to delay the deposition until after the resolution of Maxwell's appeal to the Supreme Court. That appeal is expected to be resolved in late September. Comer wrote that while Maxwell's testimony was 'vital' to the Republican-led investigation into Epstein, the committee would not provide immunity or any questions in advance of her testimony, as was requested by her team. ___ Associated Press writers Michael Balsamo, Matt Brown and Darlene Superville contributed to this report.

Angels select OF Bryce Teodosio, release OF Lamonte Wade Jr.
August 3 - The Los Angeles Angels selected the contract of outfielder Bryce Teodosio on Saturday. In a corresponding move, they released outfielder/first baseman Lamonte Wade Jr. Teodosio was signed as an undrafted free agent in 2021, but he has quickly worked his way through the minor league ranks. In 2024, he recorded five home runs, 51 RBIs, 40 stolen bases and a .276 batting average in 114 games for Triple-A Salt Lake. The outfielder made his MLB debut last season, appearing in five games for the Angels. He had 12 plate appearances but managed only one hit. The 26-year-old has been limited to 25 minor league games this season but performed well. Overall, he posted one home run, 12 RBIs, 10 stolen bases and a .330/.385/.511 slash line. Teodosio's speed makes him a real threat on the basepaths and in the outfield. In 2024, Baseball Savant ranked him in the 98th percentile in the MLB in sprint speed. Wade was acquired from the San Francisco Giants on June 8 as a potential bounce-back candidate. The veteran recorded 17 home runs and 45 RBIs for the Giants in 2023. However, he got off to a rough start in San Francisco this season with one home run, 15 RBIs and a .167 batting average across 50 games. In Anaheim, Wade's performance did not improve. In 30 games, he produced one home run, three RBIs and .169 batting average. The 31-year-old has not seen game action since July 26, despite fellow outfielders Jorge Soler and Mike Trout both missing games during that span. The Angels will look for Teodosio to give them a defensive boost in the outfield. Jo Adell and Taylor Ward are locked in as everyday starters, but Trout has remained limited to the designated hitter spot. Offensive-minded options like Soler and Wade have put pressure on Adell to cover more range in centerfield. --Field Level Media
