Marc Raquil (born 2 April 1977 in Créteil) is a French runner of Martiniquais origin who competes in the 400 metres and 4 × 400 m relay. He won the 4 × 400 m relay gold medal and the 400 m silver medal at the 2003 World Championships. In 2004, his 4 × 400 m relay team was retroactively awarded gold medals after the United States 4 × 400 m 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).^[1][2] Since Jerome Young had also finished first in the 400 m at the 2003 World Championships, the failed drug test also resulted in Raquil being retroactively awarded a silver medal in the 400 m. Raquil has also won three gold medals and one bronze medal at the European Indoor and Outdoor Championships.
