Olympic star Sha'Carri Richardson ‘shoves' boyfriend in airport brawl
Sha'Carri Richardson, who clinched gold with Team USA in the 4x100m relay was video appearing to shove her boyfriend, sprinter Christian Coleman found before being arrested and charged with fourth-degree assault.
Richardson was landed in an 18-hour custody stint before her release. The incident, filmed last month shows the athlete appearing to aggressively grab and push Coleman. Coleman later confirmed he wouldn't be pressing charges.
The pair are seen walking through the airport before Richardson, 25, reaches for Coleman's backpack from behind. As they engage in what seems to be an intense conversation, Richardson is spotted shoving her 29-year-old beau against a pillar.
Bystanders become aware of the fracas as the couple move out of shot. When they come back into view, they're heading towards security, with the athlete still jostling Coleman.
Another camera angle appears to capture Richardson hurling an object at Coleman before storming away. Later on, Coleman is seen talking to a group of police officers, the Mirror reports.
Port of Seattle Police were informed by Richardson that the spat began after Coleman took her headphones. "Richardson advised she did not assault him in any way and the dispute was only a verbal argument," stated the police report.
Coleman came forward to speak on Richardson's behalf regarding the incident, as reported by Citius Mag: "For me personally, I feel like it was a sucky situation all round," he commented.
"I don't feel like she should have been arrested. I'm the type of guy who's in the business of extending grace, and mercy and love. It didn't affect me. She's a human being and a great person, and I feel like you know, we've been able to be really good team-mates all year. We're just two dominant personalities. To me, she's the best female athlete in the world."
He went on to say: "She's just had a lot of things going on, lot of emotions and forces going on inside of her that not only I can't understand, but nobody can. She's one-of-one. I know it's been a tough journey for her this year.
"But she's gonna bounce back because she's the best female athlete in the world. I see it every day. She's gonna be just fine. She gonna be good, and I'm gonna be good too."

Cocaine kingpin Mark Richardson was promising footballer before turning to life of organised crime
Convicted cocaine baron Mark Richardson was once a promising teenage footballer but instead turned to a life of organised crime He was a promising young footballer who is said to have played in the same Hibernian youth team as former Celtic and Scotland star Scott Brown. However the Edinburgh teenager gave up the chance of sporting glory to pursue a career in organised crime that currently sees him languishing behind bars and at the centre of a major international gangland war. So how did a once promising footballer go wrong?. Was it nature or nurture? In reality it would appear Mark Richardson was born into a life of crime flogging drugs at the age of 12 to other kids in his school playground. Richardson first came to public attention in 2007 when he and his dad, also called Mark were caught dealing coke. Mark Richardson Snr, 44, was jailed for four and a half years and 19 year old Mark jnr for 32 months. Two years later he was arrested as part of an alleged dog fighting ring in the East End of Edinburgh. Charges would later be dropped with claims that witnesses were too scared to testify.

In 2010 Richardson was back behind bars having been sentenced to ten years for his part in a cocaine and crack cocaine distribution network. At the time he was said to have a criminal empire worth £5million in property, vehicles and jewellery. He was also said to controlled almost three quarters of the capital's deadly cocaine trade and was one of the major players in Scotland's underworld. His customers ranged from cocaine-snorting partygoers in the capital's trendiest clubs and desperate junkies hooked on rocks of crack cocaine. Undercover police officers had been on Richardson's trail for months and had tailed him to meetings with Kevin "The Gerbil" Carroll - feared enforcer for the Glasgow based Daniel crime clan. In 2009 Richardson was holding regular summits with the 29-year-old - who was shot dead in an Asda car park in Robroyston, Glasgow, in January 2010 - and cops watched as the pair dined together in Glasgow's trendy Merchant City Italian Kitchen restaurant. Carroll's name was later found on a list of people Richardson had been lending money hidden in a photo frame during a raid. The total amount involved came to £84,260 - but the exact sum Carroll owed couldn't be made out. As well as counting Carroll among his cronies, Richardson was an associate of taxi firm owner and Daniel family member Steven 'Bonzo' Daniel. In the police raid that led to his arrest and imprisonment officers had found him personally preparing cocaine for sale as crack cocaine. In a separate raid in the capital's Inch area, cops discovered a cache of shotgun cartridges, bullets and knives hidden in decking in a back garden Richardson was released from prison in 2014 and in November that year was photographed by our sister paper the Sunday Mail with Steven Daniel at a meeting with multi-millionaire taxi boss and property tycoon Stevie Malcolm. Malcolm, one of Scotland's richest men, said the pair had wanted to add taxis to his fleet, but he wasn't interested because he knew "one of them was dodgy." However it wasn't long before Richardson was back inside. In January 2017 he was arrested in Baillieston, Glasgow, as part of major crackdown on organised crime. Twelve months later he would be among nine men jailed for a total of 87 years The nine were described as one of the most sophisticated crime rings ever to operate in Scotland. Detective Chief Supt Gerry McLean who led the investigation codenamed Operation Escalade described Scotland as a "much safer place" with the gang including Richardson off the streets. Richardson, now 30, had initially been suspected of the shootings of underworld figures Ross Monaghan and Robert Kelbie but was given a term of eight years and nine months after admitting having a Glock handgun in a hidden compartment in his car. In May that year in a bizarre turn of events his father blamed him for destroying their family with his criminal activities. Mark Snr said his own marriage crumbled and he turned to heavy cocaine use in the wake of his son's offending. Both him, his wife and their other son Dale had also been given " Osman letters" by police telling them their lives were in danger. The details emerged when the father appeared on drug dealing charges at Edinburgh Sheriff Court. He was jailed for 18 months after pleading guilty to having £1320 of cocaine in his van in the city. In 2019 while languishing in prison there was fresh blow for Richardson when a close fiend former boxer and Trainspotting 2 star Bradley Welsh was shot dead outside his home in Edinburgh's posh new town. A Sean Orman was given life for the killing in May 2021 and told he must serve 28 years before he can be considered for parole. Even today the motive for Welsh's death remains unclear. The shooting was said to have been ordered by an Edinburgh crime figure linked to the Lyons family and may have been aimed at Richardson as much as Welsh. Richardson is currently serving his third jail term since 2007 but time behind bars does not appear to be a deterrent due to the riches that can be earned from a life of crime., In an interview last month for Criminal Record the former Director General of the Scottish Crime and Drug Drug Enforcement Agency Graeme Pearson called for greater powers for the police and courts to both freeze and seize criminal assets. Pearson said:"The last 20 years have shown what happens when one is relaxed about how you address the seizure of assets from organised crime. "We do not seize enough and draw the wealth that comes from it. "That is the key to tackling organised crime - you reduce the profit then you seize the profit." Richardson was back on the front pages in March this year when members of a group linked to former Rangers ultra leader Ross McGill began a series of attacks on members and associates of the Daniel family in Edinburgh and Glasgow. It was said that an associate of Richardson had ripped of McGill in a £500,000 cocaine deal paid for with fake notes. During this period of violence Richardson was reportedly put in isolation for his own protection at Low Moss jail in Bishopbriggs, Glasgow. A far cry from his days as a promising young Hibs player almost 25 years ago. Richardson is due to be released from prison soon but appears to be a marked man - as he has been for most of his life.

The former professional boxer has opened up on one thing that had a big 'impact' on their relationship as she explained how they are navigating co-parenting their young son. Olympic gold medallist Nicola Adams has confessed that her ex-girlfriend Ella Baig's career on an adult website put a strain on their relationship as she opens up on their 'difficult' split and navigating co-parenting their son. Nicola, 42, who was the first British woman to secure an Olympic gold medal in the ring at the 2012 Olympics, ended her relationship with 27-year-old Ella at the beginning of the year after seven years together. The former couple reportedly struggled through the nature of Ella's OnlyFans career. Nicola and Ella first started dating in 2018 after they met on a night out. After several years into their romance, they decided they wanted to become parents and chose to use fertility treatments. Ella gave birth to their son Taylor in July 2022 via caesarean section. Since their split earlier this year, Nicola has admitted that Ella's OnlyFans career did have a negative impact on their relationship, the Mirror reports. Speaking to the Daily Mail, the former professional boxer said: 'I have always been incredibly supportive of Ella's career and the choices she has made, including her work on OnlyFans. "However, as much as I respect what she does, I can't deny that it has had an impact on our relationship.' She also opened up about how the difficulties of going through a breakup in the public eye but insisted they are managing to co-parent pretty well. She added: 'Co-parenting has been really good, because our son's always at the top of it. It's always difficult doing breakups, especially when you're in the public eye - and it's not something that you always you want to be public. "But I guess once you've been [in the public eye] it always ends up being that way... but we've navigated that quite well. 'I've always believed in handling things with respect and maturity, and we shared a lot of good memories together, and I'll always be grateful for the good times. "And I guess the main thing is our son now, and we see ourselves as, like, pretty good co-parents. I think... I feel like we've got good co-parenting girls here. I'm just happy that he's happy, and it hasn't really affected him that much.' It comes after Nicola lifted the lid on her new career move as she revealed that she has been taking acting lessons and is now set to make her acting debut in a film next year.

Olympic champion Peaty completes first T100 triathlon
The 30-year-old swimmer is a three-time Olympic gold medallist, but was turning his hand to the three-discipline sport for the first time. Peaty completed the 1.5km swim, 40km bike and 10km run in 2 hours, 34 minutes and 36 seconds, posting the fifth-fastest swim of the day as he emerged from the water in 19:44. His future father-in-law Gordon Ramsay, who was heading Team Ramsay, was unable to compete, however, daughter Tilly and wife Tana completed the course in 2:56:16 and 3:06:40, respectively. The team, which also included chefs Paul Ainsworth and James Goodyear and para athlete Billy Monger – who competed in the Sprint distance – were raising money for Great Ormond Street Hospital. 'That was tough,' Peaty said. 'That was one of the hardest things I've ever done – but 100% would do it again! 'Yes, I've done training. Yes, I've done races under a minute. But I've never had to battle for two and a half hours and find different strategies. 'I may have used 70% of my adrenaline in that first 500m of the swim. 'My chain fell off my bike, and I was like, right, I know I've got to catch up time and try to average over 20 mph. 'I finished the bike, and my legs felt OK, but I felt a bit sore, and then that whole run, that was hard because I've never done a 10km race, let alone a triathlon 10km. 'Whether you're doing 100km or maybe Olympic distance today, everyone's behind each other.' Over 5,200 athletes took part in both the Olympic and 100km distances on Sunday, following the professional and sprint races on Saturday. Lucy Charles-Barclay won the women's pro race for her first T100 triumph as Hayden Wilde returned from a serious bike crash three months ago to win the men's race. While Gordon Ramsay was unable to compete due to stitches in his neck, he was on hand to make sure the team were fuelled before their race and welcomed them home at the finish line. He said: 'First of all, the T100 has to be one of the most exciting events across the sporting calendar. 'Triathlon for me is not only one of the fastest-growing, exciting sports on the planet, but it's family-oriented. 'My little Oscar's here today with us as well. He's six years of age, and he's already asking about triathlon for kids. 'No matter what shape or size you are, you can do a triathlon. Trust me, I'm six foot two, 220 pounds, not the lightest of chefs. 'Great Ormond Street for us is a hospital of utter uniqueness, and what you see behind the scenes in terms of where that money goes for the future development, to help keep those families safe and wrap them up in an environment that is incredibly special.'
