Doping allegations
He was suspended from the sport for doping violations from September 18, 2000 to September 17, 2002.
On September 4, 2008 it was reported that Devyatovskiy and the bronze medalist from the Olympics, fellow Belarusian Ivan Tsikhan, were under investigation by the International Olympic Committee for doping offenses. In December 2008, the IOC found him guilty of doping and took away his medal. He appealed the IOC's findings to the Court of Arbitration for Sport. In June 2010 the CAS ruled in his favor and he got the medal back.
