Trevor Graham (born 20 August 1963) is a Jamaican-born former sprinter and athletics coach, based in the United States. Following the BALCO scandal and subsequent findings, the US Olympic Committee barred him indefinitely from all its training sites as a number of the athletes he was training had tested positive for using performance-enhancing drugs.
Graham was part of the silver medal winning Jamaican 4 × 400 m team at the 1988 Summer Olympics, running in the first round and semi-final, though not the final. He is a graduate from Saint Augustine's College with a degree in Business Management.
Formed in 1993 by Graham and incorporated in 1997, Sprint Capitol USA was based at the Paul Derr Track on the North Carolina State University Main Campus in Raleigh, North Carolina.
Graham played a critical whistleblower role in the BALCO scandal (Bay Area Laboratory Co-operative) of June 2003, anonymously calling the United States Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) in June 2003 accusing a number of athletes being involved in doping with a steroid sourced from Victor Conte and also anonymously sending a syringe containing the designer steroid Tetrahydrogestrinone (THG) to the USDA.
In July 2006, Angel Guillermo Heredia testified before a US Federal Grand Jury that he had worked for Graham from 1996 to 2000, providing illegal performance-enhancing drugs. While a number of athletes coached by Graham have received suspensions for drug use, he has always denied direct knowledge or involvement, and denies having ever met Heredia. After Justin Gatlin failed a test for testosterone, announced in July 2006, Graham stated in an interview that Gatlin had been set up. Two of the athletes Graham had coached admitted to having been knowingly taking drugs.
