Tyree Washington (born August 28, 1976) is a retired American
sprinter .
Born in
Riverside, California , Washington attended both
La Sierra High School and
San Bernardino Valley College .
His coach during 2003 was
Antonio Pettigrew ,
[1] who ran alongside Washington,
Michael Johnson and
Jerome Young in breaking the
4 × 400 metres
world record in 1998 with a time of 2:54.20. However, both Young and Pettigrew were later found to have violated
doping regulations during their careers, and the
IAAF now list the 1993 US quartet of
Andrew Valmon ,
Quincy Watts ,
Butch Reynolds and Michael Johnson as the world record holders.
[2]
At the
2003 World Championships , Washington originally finished first in the 4 × 400 metres relay with Young,
Calvin Harrison and
Derrick Brew ; and second in the
400 m behind Young. Calvin Harrison was found guilty of a doping violation (modafinil) in June 2003, leading to the quartet being stripped of the 4 × 400 m medals. Young was given a lifetime ban for a second offence in 2004; this was applied retrospectively to 1999 (Young's first failed test) in 2008, leading to Washington being awarded the
gold medal .
[3]
His last major win was at the
2006 world indoor championships . He retired in 2008
[3] after failing to qualify at the US Olympic trials.
