Former world time trial cycling champion Michael Rogers can race again after cycling's governing body accepted that meat he ate in China likely caused his positive doping test.
The International Cycling Union agreed "there was a significant probability" that banned stimulant clenbuterol in his sample came from contaminated meat.
In China, where clenbuterol is administered to livestock.
He raced in China days before testing positive at the Japan Cup last October.
Rogers won three straight world titles from 2003-05.
