At the World Championships in Helsinki in 2005 , he finished fifth with 8246 points and once again confirmed that he is one of the world's best.

doping
During follow-up examinations of the doping samples from the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing , it became clear that Pogorelow was doped. The IOC therefore subsequently disqualified him. He was disqualified by the IAAF for the period from August 23, 2008 to February 21, 2010 and banned for a further two years from July 2, 2016 to July 1, 2018.
