The 33-year-old was handed a suspension following a positive out-of-competition test on January 14, with the heart attack drug detected.

Vorganov was one of the first athletes to fail a test for the substance, which was only added to the World Anti-Doping Agency’s (WADA) prohibited list on January 1 after they found “evidence of its use by athletes with the intention of enhancing performance”.

His coach Alexander Tolkachev confirmed in April that the cyclist requested information on the concentration of meldonium in his doping sample.

The request followed WADA ruling that if below one microgram of the substance was detected in a test before March 1, a no fault or negligence verdict could be reached.

It came after the organisation admitted that "limited data exists to date" on the urinary excretion of the drug, while the renal elimination of meldonium is expected to "vary significantly between individuals, depending on the dosing and duration of the drug administration protocol".

The ruling could see several athletes handed no punishment and be able to resume their careers, with WADA facing criticism for not carrying out intensive testing on the substance.

Vorganov has now been cleared to continue racing after the UCI Disciplinary Commission opted to lift his suspension, although the case will continue to be examined by the governing body, with a full decision having not yet been reached.

Under UCI rules, a provisional suspension can be lifted should a rider establish “the assertion of the Anti-Doping Rule Violation (ADRV) has no reasonable prospect of being upheld, or that there is a strong arguable case that he bears no fault or negligence".

Additionally should “other facts or circumstances exist that, in the UCI Disciplinary Commission’s opinion, make it clearly unfair to impose or maintain the provisional suspension”, the sanction can be lifted.

Vorganov now joins a host of athletes to have their suspensions provisionally lifted after the WADA clarification, including Olympic short track speed skating champion Semion Elistratov of Russia and long track team-mate Pavel Kulizhnikov.

Bulgaria's European indoor triple jump silver medallist Gabriela Petrova also had her sanction lifted by the International Association of Athletics Federations.

The Russian Anti-Doping Agency announced last month that they had decided not to disqualify world track cycling champion Anastasia Chulkova, as well as wrestlers Sergey Semyonov and Davt Chakvetadze and track and field athletes Nadezhda Kotlyarova, Gulshat Fazletdinova, Andrey Minzhulin and Olga Vovk, after positive tests.

The International Biathlon Union have also lifted the suspensions handed to Russia's Eduard Latypov and Ukraine's Artem Tyshchenko.
