From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
John Capel (born November 27, 1978 in Brooksville, Florida, United States of America) is a sprint athlete.
John attended the University of Florida in Gainesville and played for their american football team the Gators but left there in 2000 to concentrate on his athletics career.
John's major athletic highlight came in winning the 200m gold medal at the 2003 World Championships in Athletics, at the Stade de France in Saint Denis, Paris, France. He had previously made the final at the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney, Australia, but trailed in eighth after thinking there had been a false start. In August 2005 he won the bronze medal in the 200 m at the 2005 World Championships in Athletics.
At the IAAF Norwich Union Indoor Grand Prix held in February 2006 he tested positive for a cannabinoid. [1]
