https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ozone_therapy
"ozonated autohemotherapy"
"According to reports, the ozone therapy technique consists of removing 200cc of blood, mixing it with an anticoagulant and then re-injecting the blood. The whole process takes just 30 minutes and boosts performance by optimizing the oxygen carried to the muscles. It does not alter blood values under the UCI’s biological passport scheme.
Ozone therapy is not specifically mentioned in the WADA anti-doping code but is considered doping as it increases the body’s ability to transport more oxygen."

I think they concluded it was more used as a cover for transfusing blood or drugs taht actually worked though.
It happened before it was banned.
