About Marc Raquil

  • Marc Raquil (born 2 April 1977 in Créteil) is a French runner of Martiniquais origin who competes in the 400 metres and 4x400m relay. He won the 4x400m relay silver medal and the 400m bronze medal at the 2003 World Championships.
  • In 2004, his 4x400m relay team was retroactively awarded gold medals after the United States 4x400m relay team was stripped of its gold medals due to the failed drug tests of two members of the relay (Calvin Harrison and Jerome Young).
  • Since Jerome Young had also finished first in the 400m at the 2003 World Championships, the failed drug test also resulted in Raquil being retroactively awarded a silver medal in the 400m.
  • Raquil has also won three gold medals and one bronze medal at the European Indoor and Outdoor Championships.
