Florida man indicted for supplying banned drugs in US sprinter’s case

AP: Federal authorities charged a Florida man yesterday with providing banned substances to an athlete in a case involving the 45-month doping ban handed to Olympic sprinter Marvin Bracy-Williams last year. The US Attorney’s Office in Orlando announced the indictment of Paul Askew of Jacksonville for violating the Rodchenkov Act, a law enacted in 2020 that allows US authorities to prosecute doping crimes involving international events. Prosecutors said Askew could face up to 10 years in prison if convicted.
