PARIS - Brittney Griner 's "unprecedented" journey back to the Olympic Games, less than two years after she was released from a Russian prison in a saga that rocked American sport, has been applauded by her U.S. teammate Diana Taurasi at the Paris Games.Twice gold medallist Griner was released from one of Russia's most notorious penal colonies in a high-profile prisoner exchange in December 2022 and returned to the WNBA months later for the 2023 season.
The player had a prescription in the United States for medical marijuana and pleaded guilty to charges of possessing and smuggling illegal drugs but insisted she had made an "honest mistake." Griner spent nearly 10 months in detention."Not saying that, you know, the minute she got back from that she was the happiest person on earth. But she found a way to navigate all those emotions and all those situations to move forward," said Taurasi.U.S.
