The United States Anti-Doping Agency announced that 2022 World Championship 100m silver medalist 🇺🇸 Marvin Bracy-Williams has accepted a 45-month sanction for anti-doping rule violations, following an investigation triggered by a whistleblower tip. In early 2024, USADA received credible information and conducted a targeted out-of-competition test. The test came back positive for testosterone, leading to a provisional suspension on Feb. 5, 2024. Investigators from USADA, the Athletics Integrity Unit and the DEA’s Orlando office later discovered that Bracy-Williams initially tried to tamper with the investigation. He soon admitted to the violations and provided substantial assistance, helping authorities pursue broader doping cases. The testosterone use and attempted tampering were treated as a single violation. For it, Bracy-Williams got: A one-year reduction for admitting guilt within 20 days and a further 15-month reduction for substantial cooperation. He had a separate 24-month ban for a second violation since he had three Whereabouts Failures between Aug. 2023 and June 2024. The total suspension amounts to 45 months, from the day of his provisional suspension on Feb. 5, 2024. All results since June 1, 2023, are disqualified. He retains his silver medal from Worlds in 2022. He would be eligible to return to competition in November 2027. He will be 33 years old.
