Alessandro Petacchi was famously banned for several months because he took too big of a hit off his inhaler after the stage. He was allowed to use the inhaler, but the level in his blood was too high.

The Italian federation chalked it up to human error, but CAS overruled that and really screwed him over, IMO.
