DOHA—Sha'Carri Richardson left her rivals in the dust as the American streaked to 100 meters victory in the first Diamond League meeting of the season in Doha on Friday.

Richardson, who was expected to be one of the biggest draws at the Tokyo Olympics in 2021 before she accepted a one-month ban after testing positive for cannabis, set a meet record in Doha with a time of 10.76 seconds.
