U.S. track star Sha'Carri Richardson reportedly arrested for domestic violence in Seattle
The 25-year-old, who won Olympic silver in the 100 at the Paris Games, allegedly pushed her male companion, who then fell into a nearby column, after an argument, according to a police report obtained by the outlet.
The report said she was detained on the evening of July 27 and released the following day.
"USATF is aware of these reports. We are not commenting on this matter," USA Track & Field said in a statement.
The Port of Seattle Police Department and Richardson's agent did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Richardson withdrew from the 100 semifinals in Eugene, Oregon, on Friday after participating in Thursday's heats.
She is guaranteed a spot in the 100 at the world championships in Tokyo in September due to her win in Budapest in 2023.

Federal agency opens probe into former Trump prosecutor Jack Smith
A U.S. federal agency has opened a formal investigation into former special counsel Jack Smith, who oversaw two criminal probes into President Donald Trump following his first term in the White House. The Office of Special Counsel confirmed that it was investigating whether Smith violated the Hatch Act, a law prohibiting federal employees from using their position for political activity. The decision follows a request for a probe by U.S. Sen. Tom Cotton, an Arkansas Republican. The OSC is an independent agency that probes the conduct of federal employees, but it does not have the authority to bring criminal charges. It is different from the type of Special Counsel's office previously overseen by Smith, who was appointed by the Department of Justice to pursue criminal cases. The OSC's investigation, which was first reported by the New York Post, is the latest in a series of actions taken by Trump and his allies against their perceived political enemies. Smith, who resigned from his post in January following Trump's election victory, could not immediately be reached for comment. Earlier this week Cotton accused Smith of aggressively pursuing his cases against Trump with the aim of hurting his presidential campaign, calling Smith "a political actor masquerading as a public official" in a series of posts on X. "That's why I've asked this unprecedented interference in the 2024 election be immediately investigated by OSC," Cotton wrote on X. A former war crimes prosecutor, Smith brought two criminal cases against Trump: one accusing him of illegally retaining classified material and another related to Trump's attempts to overturn his 2020 election loss, an effort that sparked the Jan. 6, 2021, assault on the U.S. Capitol. Neither case went to trial, having been delayed and buffeted by a series of legal challenges, including a ruling by the Supreme Court's conservative majority that granted former presidents broad immunity from criminal prosecution. Smith dropped both cases after Trump won the election, citing a long-standing Justice Department policy against prosecuting a sitting president, but issued a report in January saying the evidence he gathered would have been enough to convict Trump at trial. Trump denied wrongdoing and assailed the prosecutions as politically motivated attempts to damage his campaign.

Pitcher Darvish Yu commemorated for 204 Japan, MLB combined wins
Japanese pitcher Darvish Yu of the San Diego Padres has been commemorated for his 204 combined wins in Japanese professional baseball and Major League Baseball. A ceremony marking his feat was held at Petco Park in San Diego on Friday. The 38-year-old pitcher recorded his first win of this season in Wednesday's game against the New York Mets. That was his 204th career victory that broke the tie with Kuroda Hiroki, who pitched for the Los Angeles Dodgers and New York Yankees. Video footage highlighting Darvish's career from his debut with the Hokkaido Nippon-Ham Fighters in Japan to his 204th win was shown on the stadium screen. The crowd cheered when he appeared on the field. Darvish was presented with a commemorative frame containing the uniform he wore in Wednesday's game and that day's lineup. Darvish was photographed with Padres officials and former MLB pitcher Nomo Hideo, who won 201 combined wins. Nomo is now a Padres advisor. After Wednesday's game, Darvish said he is really grateful to Nomo for always being truthful and giving him a lot of advice, even to details.
