American sprinter Marvin Bracy-Williams has been suspended for 12 years after committing a third anti-doping rule violation through repeated whereabouts failures, the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency announced on Friday.
The 32-year-old, who won silver in the 100 metres at the 2022 World Athletics Championships, was found to have committed three whereabouts failures on July 1, 2025, Feb. 24, 2026 and April 1, 2026.
Under anti-doping regulations, athletes in registered testing pools must provide accurate location information and designate a daily one-hour time slot during which they can be located for unannounced out-of-competition drug testing. Three whereabouts failures within a 12-month period constitute an anti-doping rule violation.
As part of the sanction, Bracy-Williams has been disqualified from all competitive results achieved on or after April 1, 2026, including the loss of any medals, points and prize money earned during that period.
The lengthy suspension reflects the fact that it is Bracy-Williams’ third anti-doping rule violation.
Earlier this year, Bracy-Williams joined the Enhanced Games, a controversial sporting event that permits the use of performance-enhancing substances banned in traditional international competition. He finished third in the 100 metres at the inaugural edition of the event in Las Vegas last month.
Bracy-Williams emerged as one of the world’s fastest sprinters in 2022, earning silver behind fellow American Fred Kerley in the men’s 100 metres at the World Championships.
