Former World 100m Silver Medallist Marvin Bracy-Williams Receives 45-Month Doping Ban

Posted : 11 November 2025

Former world 100m silver medallist Marvin Bracy-Williams has been banned for 45 months following a doping investigation sparked by a whistleblower. The 31-year-old American earned silver at the 2022 World Championships in Eugene, Oregon, and was also part of the USA men’s 4x100m relay team that won silver. As a result of his ban, Great Britain is expected to be upgraded from bronze to silver in the relay.

Bracy-Williams was provisionally suspended in February 2024 after testing positive for the anabolic agent testosterone. The United States Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) confirmed that a whistleblower’s tip prompted the investigation.

The sprinter, who has not competed since 2023, initially attempted to interfere with the investigation and violated the whereabouts rules, which require athletes to disclose their location to officials. He later admitted his violations and provided “substantial assistance” to the inquiry, according to USADA. The investigation was conducted in collaboration with the Athletics Integrity Unit (AIU) and the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration.

“This case highlights the importance of cooperation between anti-doping organizations and law enforcement in combating organized doping schemes,” said USADA chief Travis Tygart. “Applying the rules correctly allows us to hold individuals accountable while pursuing further anti-doping violations and potential criminal charges. This investigation has already produced significant outcomes that will be announced in due course.”

Bracy-Williams is the second American sprinter from the 2022 world 100m podium to face anti-doping sanctions. Gold medallist Fred Kerley was provisionally suspended in August by the AIU for whereabouts failures. Kerley stated he planned to contest the allegations and has since registered to compete in next year’s inaugural Enhanced Games, an event permitting the use of substances banned in official competitions.
