We show that a closed, connected and orientable Riemannian manifold of dimension $d$ that admits a quasiregular mapping from $mathbb R^d$ must have bounded cohomological dimension independent of the distortion of the map. The dimension of the degree $l$ de Rham cohomology of $M$ is bounded above by $inom{d}{l}$. This is a sharp upper bound that proves the Bonk-Heinonen conjecture. A corollary of this theorem answers an open problem posed by Gromov in 1981. He asked whether there exists a $d$-dimensional, simply connected manifold that does not admit a quasiregular map from $mathbb R^d$. Our result gives an affirmative answer to this question.
