US sprint star Richardson out of trials following arrest
US sprint star Sha'Carri Richardson withdrew from the US Track and Field Championships in Oregon on Friday as it emerged she had been arrested and held at an airport detention center days earlier. Reigning world 100m champion Richardson, one of US sprinting's biggest stars, was held by police at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport on Sunday. Local correctional facility records showed she was released on Monday but did not specify any charges or the reason for the 25-year-old's arrest. Port of Seattle Police did not immediately respond to a request for further information. Richardson's management team also did not reply to a request for comment. News of Richardson's arrest came as USA Track and Field confirmed she would play no further part in this week's championships in Eugene after racing in the opening heats of the women's 100m on Thursday. Richardson -- who famously was barred from competing at the Tokyo Olympics in 2021 after testing positive for marijuana use after her victory at the US trials -- gave no clue of fresh controversy in her private life after her heat on Thursday. The Texan star laughed and joked with journalists as she discussed her form and fitness heading into September's World Championships in Tokyo. She did not mention her arrest earlier in the week and was not asked about it. As a defending world champion, Richardson already has a bye into the World Championships in Japan, and was under no obligation to race in Eugene this week. She clocked her fastest 100m of the season in Thursday's heat, with a time of 11.07sec. She had been due to run in this weekend's 200m but a USATF spokesman said she had scratched from both the 100m and 200m. Richardson's name remained on the 200m start list late Friday. A smiling Richardson said on Thursday she had been happy to compete in Eugene knowing that her place on the team for Tokyo was already assured. "USA is one of the hardest teams to make, so it definitely is a kind of a release of pressure knowing I have a bye," she told AFP. "It feels really good to not have that pressure and still be able to go to Tokyo. "Right now I'm cruising under the radar, but when it's time to hit -- it's gonna be a bang where y'all see my name," she said. Richardson's exit came as men's 100m world champion Noah Lyles withdrew from the remaining rounds of the short sprint. Lyles, who is also already qualified for Tokyo, will race in the 200m on Sunday. Olympic women's 200m champion Gabby Thomas has also withdrawn from the rest of the 100m, and will focus on the 200m. rcw/bb

Tesla to Pay $243M After Jury Finds It Partly Liable for Fatal Autopilot Crash
Table of Contents Tesla to Pay $243M After Jury Finds It Partly Liable for Fatal Autopilot Crash A federal jury in Florida has found Tesla to be partly liable for a fatal car crash that occurred in 2019 involving its self-driving feature Autopilot. Elon Musk's electric vehicle company must now pay $243 million in damages as a result of the judgment, multiple reports Friday said. Prosecutors filed charges back in 2022 alleging that the driver didn't brake in time when approaching a T-intersection while driving his Tesla Model S with Autopilot active, and as a result killed two passengers in the car he collided with. A Tesla spokesperson told TechCrunch Friday that the verdict is "wrong" and will "set back automotive safety and jeopardize Tesla's and the entire industry's efforts to develop and implement life-saving technology." Tesla plans to appeal, according to the statement. Tesla didn't immediately respond to CNET's request for comment. In California, Tesla is currently in the courts for another case involving Autopilot, where the state DMV is suing for allegations of false advertising and misleading customers. The California DMV alleges that Tesla is misrepresenting the capabilities of its advanced driver assistance systems by naming them "Full Self-Driving" and "Autopilot," and is seeking a 30-day suspension of Tesla's license to sell vehicles in the state.

Olympic sprinter Sha'Carri Richardson arrested on domestic assault charge in Seattle
EUGENE, Ore. — Sha'Carri Richardson was arrested Sunday at the Seattle Tacoma International Airport after an incident with her boyfriend, fellow sprinter Christian Coleman, per a police report obtained by The Athletic from the Port of Seattle Police Department. The incident, first reported by landed Richardson in custody for just shy of 19 hours at the SCORE South Correctional Entity. Advertisement The police report described an incident at the TSA security checkpoint. Richardson, the arresting officer detailed, got into a heated argument with Coleman — who told the officer Richardson was his girlfriend of two years, though the couple didn't go public with their relationship until February. The arresting officer witnessed Richardson shove Coleman multiple times as Coleman walked away from Richardson — footage caught on security camera — and deemed it enough probable cause to arrest Richardson. The offense was listed as a fourth-degree domestic violence assault. According to the report, the case has been cleared, Coleman has not pressed charges and 'declined to be a victim.' Both Richardson and Coleman raced in Thursday's preliminary rounds. Richardson posted a time of 11.07 seconds in the first round of the women's 100-meter competition. Coleman ran 10.08 in his heat. Both advanced to Thursday evening's final. USA Track and Field declined to comment. Richardson — who won silver in the 100 meters in Paris and gold in the 4×100 meter women's relay — hadn't raced for eight months before returning to action in May. Thursday's heat was her third race of 2025 and her best time. She felt good afterwards and was in a good mood following the race as she talked to the media. 'Right now,' she said, 'I'm cruising under the radar, but when it's time to hit — it's gonna be a bang where y'all see my name.' Richardson, however, withdrew from the 100-meter competition. As the reigning World Champion in the 100 meters, she already has an automatic bid to the 2025 World Championships in Tokyo. So Thursday's run was possibly always a practice session. Noah Lyles, who has an automatic bid in the men's 100 meters, also announced he was pulling out of the 100-meter final on Friday. As did Gabby Thomas, who was likely using the 100-meter race as prep for her main event, the 200 meters. But Richardson doesn't have an automatic qualifier in the 200, the final for which is scheduled for Saturday. She won bronze in 2023 behind Thomas and winner, Shericka Jackson, of Jamaica.
