Spain's sports council has suspended steeplechaser Angel Mullera for two years for doping.
A document signed by council president Miguel Cardenal and published by the Ministry of Sports on Monday says the 31-year-old Mullera is "excluded from all relations as a high-level athlete" on a doping offence.
Mullera won a legal case in August 2012 enabling him to be reinstated to Spain's Olympic team after facing doping allegations.
Then, the Court of Arbitration for Sport said a decision by the Spanish athletics federation and Olympic committee to exclude Mullera "failed to constitute technical reasons" for a ban.
Mullera was promoted to bronze medal position in the 2014 European Championship 3000-metre steeplechase after Mahiedine Mekhissi was disqualified for taking off his shirt and bib for the last 100 meters.
