Simone has been on a therapeutic dose of Ritalin for years. Ritalin is banned in Japan and could be considered a stimulant by the Olympics, therefore she had to stop taking it and it caused problems for her concentration and her ability to perform. Any criticism of her decision to step away is ignorant. She didn't let anyone down but herself and I'm sure that missing this opportunity weighs heavily on her. You just can't put all your Olympic Gold dreams on one single athlete
