Sha'Carri Richardson addresses domestic violence arrest and apologizes to Christian Coleman
Richardson posted a video on her Instagram account Monday night in which she said she put herself in a 'compromised situation.' She issued a written apology to Coleman on Tuesday morning.
'I love him & to him I can't apologize enough,' the reigning 100-meter world champion wrote in all capital letters on Instagram, adding that her apology 'should be just as loud' as her 'actions.'
'To Christian I love you & I am so sorry,' she wrote.
Richardson was arrested July 27 on a fourth-degree domestic violence offense for allegedly assaulting Coleman at the Seattle-Tacoma International Airport. She was booked into South Correctional Entity in Des Moines, Washington, for more than 18 hours.
Her arrest was days before she ran the 100 meters at the US championships in Eugene, Oregon.
In the video, Richardson said she's practicing 'self-reflection' and refuses 'to run away but face everything that comes to me head on.'
According to the police report, an officer at the airport was notified by a Transportation Security Administration supervisor of a disturbance between Richardson and her boyfriend, Coleman, the 2019 world 100-meter champion.
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.
Later in the report, it said Richardson appeared to throw an item at Coleman, with the TSA indicating it may have been headphones.
The officer said in the report: 'I was told Coleman did not want to participate any further in the investigation and declined to be a victim.'
A message was left with Coleman from The Associated Press.
Richardson wrote that Coleman 'came into my life & gave me more than a relationship but a greater understanding of unconditional love from what I've experienced in my past.'
She won the 100 at the 2023 world championships in Budapest and finished with the silver at the Paris Games last summer. She also helped the 4x100 relay to an Olympic gold.
She didn't compete during the Tokyo Olympics in 2021 following a positive marijuana test at the US Olympic trials.

Raleigh hits MLB-leading 46th homer and sparks five-run seventh as Mariners outslug Mets 11-9
NEW YORK (AP) — Cal Raleigh hit his major league-leading 46th homer, sparked a five-run seventh inning with his first double in over a month and the Seattle Mariners set a team record with nine doubles to beat the skidding New York Mets 11-9 on Friday night. Raleigh hit a two-run shot to the second deck in left field and became the first player to reach 100 RBIs this season to give the Mariners a 4-3 lead in the third. He helped the Mariners rally from a 6-5 deficit in the seventh with his first double since June 27 and then doubled again in the eighth. The comeback helped Seattle overcome two homers by Francisco Lindor. Lindor hit a leadoff homer and then a two-run shot in the fourth for a 5-4 lead. Juan Soto also homered and Francisco Alvarez hit a three-run shot in the eighth but the Mets lost for the 14th time in 16 games. After Raleigh scored the tying run on a double by Eugenio Suárez off Ryan Helsley (3-4), Dominic Canzone followed with a go-ahead RBI double off Brooks Raley. Donavan Solano hit an RBI double off the top of the left field wall and rookie Cole Young capped the big inning with a two-run double. Mitch Garver homered and Julio Rodriguez hit a pair of RBI doubles as the Mariners won for the 10th time in 13 games. Young added an RBI single to get Seattle within one run in the sixth. Seattle starter Luis Castillo tied a season worst by allowing six runs and nine hits in four innings. New York starter Sean Manaea allowed four runs and six hits in five innings. Key moment After Jackson Kowar allowed Alvarez's homer, Matt Brash retired Lindor to end the eighth and Andrés Muñoz converted his 29th save. Key stats Raleigh has matched his career high with his 100th RBI in his 448th at-bat. Last season, he finished with 100 RBIs in 546 at-bats. Up next Seattle RHP Bryan Woo (10-6, 3.08) opposes New York RHP Nolan McLean, who makes his major league debut, on Saturday afternoon. ___ AP MLB:

Mets stunned in 11-9 loss to Mariners after bullpen's late meltdown
The Mets suffered yet another heartbreaking loss on Friday night, this time losing in a slugfest to the Seattle Mariners, 11-9. Here are the takeaways... -Fresh off of his great series offensively against the Atlanta Braves, Francisco Lindor was at it again against Luis Castillo and the Mariners. With terrific numbers against Castillo, Lindor wasted no time and smacked a leadoff home run to the opposite field. It was the seventh time this year that he's led off the game with a long ball which ties Curtis Granderson (twice) for the most in franchise history. Lindor's night hardly ended there, though. The shortstop came through again in the second inning with an RBI single to take the lead which capped off three straight two-out hits, including Francisco Alvarez and Ronny Mauricio, that drove in two runs. All three hits also came with two strikes. Down again in the fourth after Cal Raleigh homered in the third for an MLB-leading 46th time, Lindor flexed his muscles once more with a two-run blast, this one to the pull side, to give New York a 5-4 lead. Lindor's two home runs on the night were his 23rd and 24th of the season and showed his power to all fields. -On the very next pitch, Juan Soto joined in on the action with a solo bomb to center field to go back-to-back with Lindor and double the Mets' lead. Just like the second inning, all three runs came with two outs after Mauricio kept the inning alive with a single to turn it over to the top of the lineup. -Pitching for New York was Sean Manaea who was hoping to get back on track after a couple of shaky starts in a row. The left-hander wasn't at his best, allowing four runs on six hits (two home runs) and a walk, but he matched his season-high with seven strikeouts, including one in the fourth inning that helped him escape a jam. Overall, Manaea went five innings -- the streak continues -- and, thanks to his offense, did just enough to leave the game in line for a win. That is, until disaster struck behind him. -It started with Tyler Rogers who allowed a run in the sixth to get Seattle to within a run. The roof caved in in the seventh, though. Bumped down an inning after a string of bad outings since getting traded to the Mets, Ryan Helsley's rough patch continued. Raleigh greeted him with a leadoff double, but after striking out Julio Rodriguez on three pitches, finishing him off with a 101 mph fastball, Helsley looked to regain his form. However, after Eugenio Suarez tied the game with another hard-hit double, manager Carlos Mendoza pulled Helsley in favor of his lefty Brooks Raley with a couple lefties due up. But Raley, who hadn't allowed a run since returning from the IL, couldn't stop the bleeding either. After allowing the inherited runner to score, Raley allowed three more runs on three hits and a walk and was only able to get one out before getting replaced by Ryne Stanek who finally put the inning to bed. In all, the Mariners scored five runs and took a 10-6 lead in a horrendous seventh. -With most of the high-leverage relievers already used and New York down four with six outs to play with, Frankie Montas got another chance out of the bullpen. The right-hander immediately gave up long doubles to Raleigh and Rodriguez that scored another run but was able to get the next three outs. He loaded the bases in the ninth, but got out of it. -Alvarez made things interesting and brought some life back into another packed but dejected Citi Field crowd with a three-run homer in the bottom of the eighth to get the Mets to within two runs. Unfortunately, it wasn't enough after the heart of the order went quietly in the ninth against closer Andres Muñoz. Game MVP: Cal Raleigh In a wild game that featured 28 hits, The Big Dumper went 3-for-5, had eight total bases, scored three runs and drove in two. Highlights What's next The Mets and Mariners continue their three-game series at Citi Field on Saturday. First pitch is scheduled for 4:10 p.m. RHP Nolan McLean (MLB debut) will face off against RHP Bryan Woo (10-6, 3.08 ERA).

Mariners' Cal Raleigh hits 46th homer, becomes 1st catcher with consecutive 100 RBI seasons in 25 years
Cal Raleigh let his bat say a lot on MLB Players' Weekend, carrying a stick that said "Big butt... bigger bombs" written on it. Then the All-Star catcher swung that bat and continued what's been a dream season for the Seattle Mariners' slugger. Raleigh hit his 46th home run of the season off the New York Mets' Sean Manaea, a two-run shot in the third inning that put Seattle on top, 4-3. Driving in two runs with the homer also gave Raleigh 100 RBI for the season. That matched his career-high, set last season, and also made Raleigh the first catcher since Mike Piazza in 1999 and 2000 with 100 RBI in consecutive seasons while playing at least 50% of his games behind the plate. (Piazza did it in five consecutive seasons from 1996-2000.) Raleigh is the first American League hitter to reach 100 RBI this season and only trails the Philadelphia Phillies' Kyle Schwarber, who has 101 after his two-run homer on Friday versus the Washington Nationals. (Raleigh actually got to 100 RBI first before Schwarber overtook him.) However, it's Raleigh's home run total that media and fans will keep their eyes on through the final six weeks of the season. With homer No. 46, he leapfrogged Johnny Bench into second place for most home runs by a catcher in a single season. He's now two away from tying Salvador Perez's single-season record with 48 homers, set in 2021 with the Kansas City Royals. And if you don't know by now what the "big butt" on his Players' Weekend bat refers to, it's the reason for his nickname, "The Big Dumper." Former teammate Jarred Kelenic tagged him with that for his large backside and ability to hit clutch home runs. Raleigh is also moving up the all-time list for most home runs in a single season by a switch-hitter. His 46th homer moved him ahead of Lance Berkman and Chipper Jones for the third-highest total in a season. Only Mickey Mantle — who hit 52 homers in 1956 and 54 in 1961 — is ahead of him now. Additionally, Raleigh tied Mantle by hitting 46 home runs in his team's first 123 games of the season, according to Sarah Langs. That will be one record Raleigh doesn't set this year. However, the Mariners have 39 games remaining on their schedule after Friday's 11-9 win over the Mets. He has plenty of opportunity to put himself atop the lists for most home runs by a catcher and by a switch-hitter in a single season. Would anyone dare to bet against him at this point? Oh, and Seattle is 1.5 games behind the Houston Astros for first place in the AL West and currently hold the league's No. 1 wild-card playoff spot. Raleigh is doing all of this in games that matter, his home runs making maximum impact for the Mariners' fortunes.
