Florida man indicted for supplying banned drugs in case involving US sprinter Marvin Bracy-Williams
Paul Alexander Askew allegedly supplied banned substances to influence international athletics events including the 2024 Paris Olympics, facing up to 10 years in prison.
- On Tuesday, U.S. Attorney Gregory W. Kehoe announced a federal indictment against Paul Alexander Askew, 46, for conspiracy to influence international sports through doping.
- Between July 2023 and Jan. 31, 2024, prosecutors say Askew conspired to supply banned substances so an unnamed athlete could participate and affect competition outcomes.
- The indictment invokes the Rodchenkov Anti-Doping Act and the U.S. Attorney's Office in Orlando warns Askew faces up to 10 years in federal prison and potential asset forfeiture.
- The indictment is connected to Olympic sprinter Marvin Bracy-Williams, whose case includes a 45-month doping ban last year and USADA records showing he tested positive, disappeared in 2023, and initially hindered the investigation before assisting authorities.
- USADA welcomed the indictment and credited cross-agency coordination involving the Justice Department, DEA, and Athletics Integrity Unit, stressing accountability as the U.S. prepares for the 2026 FIFA World Cup and 2028 Olympic and Paralympic Games.
