NEW YORK :World 100 metres silver medallist Marvin Bracy has accepted a 45-month sanction for anti-doping rule violations, the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency said on Monday.

Bracy, who won silver at the 2022 World Championships, was provisionally suspended in February 2024 after an out-of-competition test came back positive for an anabolic agent.

USADA said it opened an investigation into Bracy after receiving a tip from a whistleblower.

Bracy had initially tried to tamper with the investigation, according to USADA, which conducted the inquiry with the Athletics Integrity Unit and U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration.
