The following comment says it all. "Levomethamphetamine has been shown to have zero performance enhancing qualities". Athletes are not chemists and not all have access to expert up to date advice. This is a clear case where the rule of strict liability is continuing to punish an innocent person. In sporting terms this is plainly unfair, and in human terms, is blatantly unjust.

given that the real cheats in the sporting world have been allowed to compete with genuine sportsmen and women, this is the least that they can do for an innocent man

I understand that he has been cleared of any drug involvement and therefore should be reinstated. Maybe with Obama's budget problems they cannot afford a replacement bronze now. The main thing to get to move it forward is to get his position recorded in the Olympic's medal winners and then the BBC will have the correct information.
