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. Coleman was shoved into a wall.
The report later said that 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 won the 100 at the 2023 world championships in Budapest and finished with the silver at the Paris Games last summer.

Nikhat Zareen's journey back from Paris Olympics heartbreak - Hyderabad's boxing sensation eager to start fresh
'Hyderabad is known for two things: the delicious biryani and its very own boxing ki rani.' Nikhat Zareen's wit, razor-sharp, like her punches, was on full display at a recent event in her hometown, where she cheekily corrected the emcee's introduction. It made the crowd laugh. But beneath the jest was something more: a glimpse into how Nikhat sees herself, and a gentle reminder that the confidence once shaken in Paris has been slowly and deliberately rebuilt. A year ago, Nikhat left the Paris Olympics with her dreams bruised. Her early exit was unexpected, and the sting of disappointment lingered. But time and introspection have worked their quiet magic. This version of Nikhat is steadier, wiser, and, crucially, more forgiving of herself. But despite the setbacks, Nikhat isn't someone who stays down for long. Every obstacle, she says, is fuel. | Photo Credit: Special Arrangement 'There are a lot of things that have happened in the past. I don't want to focus on negatives. I just want to focus on the positive things that I have learned from Paris. It was a memorable competition for me. Not everyone gets the chance to represent India at the Olympics. I count myself lucky that at least I had the opportunity to go to the Olympics,' she said in a chat with Sportstar. ALSO READ | Anurag Thakur once again declared ineligible for BFI elections Not written in the stars If Paris taught her anything, it was that medals aren't won by hard work and belief alone. Bigger forces often come into play. 'Paris was my first experience at the Olympics. I used to hear a lot about the Olympics from my seniors, about how it is not an easy event, how winning other competitions is easier. It's not easy because once you go there, there are a lot of expectations from you and a lot of pressure from everyone,' she said. 'But when I went to the Olympics, what I experienced is that it's not just about working hard and having that belief in you that you can win medals. Sometimes it's also about destiny, it's also about luck. Sometimes that also matters a lot in your journey.' Her eyes had been on two specific contenders: China's Wu Yu and Turkey's Buse Naz Cakiroglu. Nikhat wasn't afraid to face them, but she had hoped to meet them only at the tail end of the draw. Fate, of course, had other plans. ALSO READ | From chubby kid to champion: World Cup medallist Hitesh Gulia 'had no aim of making a career out of boxing' A series of unfortunate events 'My only hope was that these two boxers should not face me in the initial rounds and that they should face me in the semifinals or the final. Unfortunately, I faced one of them, the Chinese girl, in the early rounds. It was bad luck,' she said, recalling her defeat to the then reigning Asian Games champion. And that wasn't the only factor working against her. 'That bout was in the morning at 11 o'clock. There was no time for recovery, and we also had no air conditioning in Paris. If you take everything, it was quite clear that it (succeeding there) was not written in my destiny,' Nikhat brushed off with a laugh. For someone known for her bindaas, steely exterior, it was a rare glimpse behind the armour. The Olympics had clearly left their mark — and not just physically.

I ate everything that I do not usually eat. I gained seven kgs as soon as I came back, within one month. I know that's very unhealthy, but what can I do? That time, my mindset was like that. I didn't care about anything. I didn't want to talk to anyone. I didn't want to go anywhere,' she explained. It was Bella, the golden retriever she and her sister had adopted, and a timely escape from routine that helped her find her footing again. 'I sat and thought that this was not going to help me. It would only spoil me. I needed to get out of that zone. I do not want to overthink and stay in the shadow of disappointment. I didn't want to be in that disappointment phase. I want to move on and come back stronger. I'm in that phase of life. So, I decided to go on a trip to Kashmir, which really helped me to come back.' ALSO READ | Dwight Muhammad Qawi, boxer who went from prison to champion, dies at 72 The comeback began with conviction — but too much, too fast. In pushing herself harder, she picked up a meniscus injury and spent nearly four months recovering. Her return came at the Elite Women's Boxing Tournament in Hyderabad last month, with one goal: re-enter the elite national camp. The two-time World Champion and home favourite made it to the final in the 51kg category but had to withdraw before her bout with Jyoti due to a minor injury. Nikhat is not trading ambition for ease. But she's not letting boxing monopolise her life either. | Photo Credit: Special Arrangement 'Sometimes I feel like meri kismat hi kharaab hai (I'm just unlucky). Maybe no one is as unlucky as I am.' But despite the setbacks, Nikhat isn't someone who stays down for long. Every obstacle, she says, is fuel. 'These challenges break me, but they also make me stronger. Each obstacle makes me stronger and hungrier to achieve my goals. It's an interesting journey going on in my life right now. I am enjoying whatever life is throwing my way. I always tell myself, 'Nikhat, you are stronger. You are stronger than ever. You can handle this.' Always.' Much of her recent progress, she says, is thanks to Sunny, a coach from the Sports Authority of India with whom she began working this year. 'I spoke to the federation and TOPS about needing a coach and finally decided to work under Sunny. I was training in ASI Pune for five months under him, and he has helped me regain my fitness levels. He has played a major role after the Paris Olympics in helping me get back into the national team.'

Chief among them: live in the moment, both inside and outside the ring. 'I know what I want in my life. At the same time, I just don't want to be blindly focused on that because when you don't get that, then you're totally shattered. That is what happened in Paris. Every time in my mind, there was only the thought of winning a medal. I left everything for it. I didn't eat junk food for so long. I didn't focus on eating sweets because I followed a strict diet. But what happened in Paris? I got broken. Literally broken.' 'I'm pushing myself every day, telling myself that whatever has happened in the past is in the past. Let's see what the future holds for me. Paris has taught me to focus on the present. I don't care what the future holds for me, what it brings in my life.' Two major events now dominate her calendar: the World Boxing Championships and the Boxing World Cup. The 2028 Olympics are on the horizon, but she's careful not to get consumed by it. 'I just don't want to put pressure on myself like, 'Oh, what will happen in the World Championship? What will happen in LA?' No, I just want to live in the present and give my 100% in training and just enjoy my workouts, enjoy the game. I don't want to ruin my present thinking about the future. I just want to enjoy my training, enjoy my life.' ALSO READ | Former world champion Julio César Chávez Jr arrested by ICE, faces deportation She's not trading ambition for ease. But she's not letting boxing monopolise her life either. 'Being an athlete, you have to be focused and disciplined. But at the same time, I have my life also. I know that once I leave boxing, when I look back, I'll regret that didn't do this and that. At the same time, I also want to live to the fullest. I want to do everything. I want to win a medal, I want to work hard, and I want to enjoy life. Because you only live once.' Nikhat has now made it to the Indian team heading to Liverpool, England, for the World Boxing Championships in September. It will be her first international bout since the heartbreak in Paris. 'I'm working hard again. I am seeing this as the start of my Olympic cycle. So I'll keep pushing myself. This is my first competition after the Paris Olympics, and I'll have butterflies in my stomach when I go there. But once I enter the ring, my mind will be set only on winning that match and the competition.' Nikhat stormed into public view as a teenager, carving a path through the youth ranks, braving the politics of challenging Mary Kom, and refusing to wilt under pressure. She's still doing exactly that. 'I'm still that Nikhat Zareen who has that hunger to achieve and make the country proud. I'm happy that I'm finally back in the national team. Now the focus is on winning the medal.'.

Lovlina alleges 'humiliating behaviour' by BFI official, he 'respectfully' denies
NEW DELHI: Tokyo Olympics bronze medallist has accused Boxing Federation of India's executive director and interim committee member Col Arun Malik (Retd) of "disrespectful and gender-discriminatory behaviour". Tired of too many ads? go ad free now The Indian Olympic Association has started a probe into these allegations. Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel. TOI has exclusively obtained Lovlina's two-page complaint, in which the reigning middleweight world champion and a recipient of Khel Ratna and , accused Malik of "demeaning" her achievements and "humiliating" her during a Target Olympic Podium Scheme meeting held via Zoom on July 8 last month. She described the experience as one that "left me deeply hurt, disheartened, and questioned the respect and dignity we, as women athletes, truly receive". Poll Do you agree that athletes should have the right to choose their coaches? Yes, it's essential for their success. No, it should be decided by the federation. Malik denied all allegations and stated that the federation remained committed to supporting its athletes while upholding fairness, transparency and equal opportunity. In a statement, Malik said, "Lovlina is the pride of the nation, and we at BFI take immense pride in her achievements, especially her Olympic bronze. I respectfully and categorically deny the allegations levelled. The call in question was thoroughly professional in its entirety. It was attended by officials from SAI and TOPS and was officially recorded by the host. The same recording is with the respective officials for review. Matters raised by Lovlina were duly noted and addressed in line with BFI's established policies, which apply uniformly to all athletes." Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Lovlina sent her complaint to sports minister Mansukh Mandaviya, Sports Authority of India director general Hari Ranjan Rao, TOPS division, IOA and BFI. In response, IOA has formed a three-member committee under the ministry's directives. The committee includes TOPS CEO Nachhatar Singh Johal, table tennis legend and IOA's athletes commission vice-chairperson Sharath Kamal and a female advocate. Tasked with submitting a report within two weeks, the committee has yet to release its findings despite nearly a month passing. Additionally, Ritu Pathik, SAI's executive director of the TEAMS division, is investigating the matter independently. In her complaint, Lovlina stated: "I write this letter not just as an athlete, but as a woman who has spent years carrying the hopes of a nation in the boxing ring — with pride, pain and perseverance. What happened during a recent official meeting with the BFI and the TOPS on July 8, 2024, at 12pm has left me deeply hurt, disheartened. In the presence of respected individuals from TOPS, boxing coach Pranamika Boro, (other) BFI members, Mr Arun Malik, an official of BFI, humiliated me in a way no athlete should ever have to endure. He raised his voice at me, spoke in an aggressively demeaning manner, and blatantly told me to 'shut up, lower your head and do as we say'. His words were not only disrespectful but also carried an alarming tone of gender-discriminatory and authoritarian dominance — something that no one, especially a woman who has brought honour to the nation, should be subjected to." Lovlina, who is part of the Indian boxing contingent for the forthcoming World Championships in Liverpool, UK, from Sept 4 to 14, added: "In a space where I expected professionalism, support and mutual respect, I was made to feel small, unheard, and powerless. It was not just a personal insult — it was an attack on every woman athlete who dreams of standing tall, both in and outside the ring... I request the authorities for a fair and swift inquiry into Malik's conduct during the meeting and necessary disciplinary action if these actions are found to be in violation of acceptable conduct. " The dispute arose when Lovlina requested the expertise of Pranamika Boro, a long-serving coach of the Indian women's boxing team and part of the country's contingent for the Paris Olympics 2024, to be her personal coach at the elite national camp in NIS Patiala and to allow her to train abroad in Europe in preparation for the Liverpool Worlds. It is alleged that Malik rejected her proposals before the TOPS division could consider them. The TOPS meeting was convened at Lovlina's special request to discuss her demands. When contacted, Lovlina told TOI, "I don't wish to comment at this juncture when an investigation is on. I have full faith in the committee and its findings. I will wait for the report to come before publicly commenting."
