LAUSANNE, Switzerland (AP) Norwegian cross-country skier Martin Johnsrud Sundby has been suspended for two months for a doping infringement.
The Court of Arbitration for Sport on Wednesday upheld an appeal by WADA against the FIS Doping Panel, which had initially cleared the 2014 Olympic bronze medalist and three-time overall World Cup champion of wrongdoing.
In December 2014 and again the following month, Johnsrud Sundby failed two tests for salbutamol, a medication he used to treat asthma. The International Ski Federation said the athlete didn't breach anti-doping rules and refrained from further action.
Following the WADA appeal, CAS overturned the FIS decision, but handed Johnsrud Sundby a suspension shorter than usual as ''there was medical justification for the athlete's use of salbutamol'' and ''that his degree of fault was light.''
