Passion Richardson
Passion Richardson (born January 25, 1975 in Berea , Ohio ) is a former American sprinter .
In 1999 she won silver in the 4-by-400-meter relay at the Pan American Games in Winnipeg .
At the Olympic Games in Sydney in 2000, she was used in the run-up to the 4-by-400-meter relay and thus contributed to the third place of the US team. The US relay was stripped of its bronze medal by the IOC in 2008 because of Marion Jones' doping offense . Richardson and two other affected athletes sued this decision before the International Court of Justice (CAS), which ruled in their favor in July 2010.
