"This is about alcohol-related issues. We take violations of the rules very seriously and will act quickly in this matter," said Janne Hänninen, head of sports at the Finnish Olympic Committee, in a statement.

Medved himself is deeply remorseful.

After the competition, I got an invitation to the Slovenian gold celebration. I'd hadn't eaten anything, and then the alcohol took its toll," Medved tells Yle and continues:

I'm not proud of myself, but I'm proud of my team and the work we've done over the last two years. I want to give my guys peace of mind and minimize the damage I've caused.
