Bogomolov admitted taking the substance through an inhaler to treat exercise-induced asthma and that he had not applied for a medical exemption.

The tribunal decided he had not intentionally taken the drug in an effort to boost his performance and so the usual two-year ban did not apply, however he lost the prize money and ranking points earned at several competitions during the relevant time period.
