Vadim Anatolyevich Devyatovsky (Belarusian: Вадзім Анатольевич Дзевятоўскі, Vadzim Dzieviatoǔski; born March 20, 1977 in Navapołacak) is a Belarusian hammer thrower.
He finished fourth at the 2004 Summer Olympics, and in 2005 he won the World Championships silver medal. In July the same year he threw 84.90 metres, which currently is his personal best. He originally won a silver medal at the 2008 Summer Olympics, but was later taken away for doping, but reinstated afterwards.[1] Vadim will return to competition in 2010.
Doping allegations
He was suspended from the sport for doping violations from September 18, 2000 to September 17, 2002.[2]
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.[3] Since Devyatovskiy had been suspended once previously for doping offenses, he faced a lifetime ban from the sport.[4] He appealed the IOC's findings to the Court of Arbitration for Sport.[5] In June of 2010 the CAS ruled in his favor and that he should get the medal back.[1]
