The athlete declared that she used the herb in order to calm \u201ca state of emotional panic\u201d caused by her mother\u2019s death.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a consequence of that action (legal in 18 states of the United States, including Oregon, where \u201cthe crime\u201d was committed), she will not be allowed to represent the U.S. in the upcoming Olympic Games in Japan. The stern characters who control the International Olympic Committee (IOC) and those who control the U.S. Athletic Association determined that the fault committed by the 21-years-old runner deserved that harsh punishment.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All over the world, that decision has created a great deal of controversy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The case of the exuberant&nbsp; north-American athlete reminded me of a conversation that I had with my mother, 12 years ago. Then, she told me of the punishment that she received when she was preparing to represent Chile in the South American Track &amp; Field Championship held in Lima, Per\u00fa, in 1939. 82 years ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>1939 also is the year of perhaps the worst earthquake in the history of Chile. It happened in the south of that country, where my mother was vacationing. She was due to return to Santiago, the Chilean&nbsp; capital, on January 25, in order to join the track team practices. That earthquake happened a day before her departure. She could not travel for almost a week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignleft size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"360\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/La-Mejor-Atleta_web.jpg?resize=360%2C480&#038;quality=89&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-49168\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/La-Mejor-Atleta_web.jpg?resize=360%2C480&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 360w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/La-Mejor-Atleta_web.jpg?resize=188%2C250&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 188w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/La-Mejor-Atleta_web.jpg?resize=370%2C493&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 370w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/La-Mejor-Atleta_web.jpg?resize=185%2C247&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 185w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/La-Mejor-Atleta_web.jpg?resize=20%2C27&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 20w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/La-Mejor-Atleta_web.jpg?resize=400%2C533&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 400w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/La-Mejor-Atleta_web.jpg?resize=600%2C800&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/La-Mejor-Atleta_web.jpg?resize=36%2C48&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 36w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/La-Mejor-Atleta_web.jpg?w=720&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 720w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 360px) 100vw, 360px\" \/><figcaption>Elba Parra, &#8220;The Best Chilean Athlete,&#8221; arriving in Peru. South American Track &#038; Field Championships, 1939. (Photo from a Peruvian newspaper).Courtesy: Carlos Bar\u00f3n<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>It was a terrible earthquake, with an epicenter on the city of Chill\u00e1n. It measured 8.3 on the Richter Scale and caused 50,000 deaths and over 60,000 wounded. In the city of Concepci\u00f3n, close to where my mother was, 90 percent of all buildings collapsed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In legal terms, that earthquake was \u201cAn act of God.\u201d An Act of God is a natural catastrophe which no one can prevent\u2026such as an earthquake, a tidal wave, a volcanic eruption, a hurricane or a tornado. An Act of God is generally considered an act attributable to nature without human interference. Because of that \u201cAct of God,\u201d my mother could not return on the due date. According to this, the transgression was clearly not her fault.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nevertheless, when my mother returned to Santiago, the head coach (\u201cA Nazi!\u201d my mother said, her eyes shining, when she told me the story in 2009) and the other officials in charge of the Chilean team, all men, decided that she could not participate in the tournament. Although the event would happen about 3 months later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Maybe it did not help the fact that she had been sincere and outspoken in some previous interviews with the press. There, she had said that\u2014in her opinion\u2014the female sport teams should be preferably managed by women. \u201cWe have a better understanding of each other,\u201d she said. Imagine such words being said by a young woman in 1939. In a country that has not\u2014to this day\u2014stopped being male-dominated. That is also the case with the U.S.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In January of 1939, my mother was all of 22 years and the best Chilean sprinter, a likely winner of a gold medal. But, although she travelled with the team, she could not run.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some might say that \u201cdestiny\u201d decided something else for both young women.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But \u201cdestiny\u201d is only part of what happened to the North American athlete today and to my mother 82 years ago. There are other reasons, very human. Or very inhuman.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There were men who thought that they had to assert harsh discipline. And they did so.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>More than destiny, what determined the treatment of both young women has more to do with the stern patriarchal control established yesterday and today by the myopic leaders of both countries. In Chile of 1939 and the U.S. of 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the U.S., the case of Sha\u2019Carrri Richardson also smells of racism. The young Black woman does not pretend to go unnoticed: she wears very long eyelashes and fingernails, long and brilliantly painted flowing hair and\u2014perhaps her worst offense\u2014a very un-submissive attitude. Like a friend of mine sarcastically says, \u201cshe\u2019s the wrong type of Black woman.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Sha_Carri-Richardson_web.jpg?resize=600%2C338&#038;quality=89&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-49169\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Sha_Carri-Richardson_web.jpg?resize=600%2C338&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Sha_Carri-Richardson_web.jpg?resize=360%2C203&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 360w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Sha_Carri-Richardson_web.jpg?resize=200%2C112&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 200w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Sha_Carri-Richardson_web.jpg?resize=768%2C432&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Sha_Carri-Richardson_web.jpg?resize=370%2C208&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 370w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Sha_Carri-Richardson_web.jpg?resize=800%2C450&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Sha_Carri-Richardson_web.jpg?resize=20%2C11&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 20w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Sha_Carri-Richardson_web.jpg?resize=185%2C104&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 185w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Sha_Carri-Richardson_web.jpg?resize=740%2C416&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 740w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Sha_Carri-Richardson_web.jpg?resize=400%2C225&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 400w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Sha_Carri-Richardson_web.jpg?resize=85%2C48&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 85w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Sha_Carri-Richardson_web.jpg?w=1200&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><figcaption>Sha&#8217;Carri Richardson competing for LSU.
