U.S. Paralympic Boccia Athlete Marck Harrison Accepts Public Warning
Press Release
30th January 2018
USADA announced today that Marck Harrison, of Columbus, Ohio, an athlete in the sport of Paralympic boccia, has accepted a public warning for failing to obtain a Therapeutic Use Exemption (TUE) prior to his use of an otherwise prohibited medication. Harrison’s violation resulted from his use of a prescription medication containing chlorthalidone – a prohibited substance on the World Anti-Doping Agency Prohibited List – which he was using under the care of a physician. Harrison, 38, had forthrightly declared the use of his medication on his doping control form at the time of sample collection and subsequently obtained a TUE authorizing future use of this medication in sport.
