Marvin Bracy-Williams Accepts 45-Month Ban in USADA Case Linked to Ongoing Multi-Agency Probe

USADA says a whistleblower-led investigation with law-enforcement support has already yielded additional results to be announced later.

Overview

  • The 31-year-old U.S. sprinter agreed to a 45-month sanction that bars him from competition through November 2028.
  • He was provisionally suspended in February 2024 after an out-of-competition test returned positive for an anabolic agent.
  • USADA reports he initially attempted to hinder the inquiry before admitting violations and providing substantial assistance.
  • The investigation involved the Athletics Integrity Unit and the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration, with USADA citing several outcomes pending public disclosure.
  • Bracy-Williams is the second member of the United States’ 2022 men’s 100m podium sweep to face scrutiny, following Fred Kerley’s earlier provisional suspension for whereabouts failures.
