South Korea’s Olympic committee clears Park for Rio (Yahoo Sports)

South Korea’s Olympic committee lifted its ban on Park Tae-hwan on Friday, allowing the former Olympic swimming champion to compete in the Rio de Janeiro Games. The decision came after the Court of Arbitration for Sport upheld a request for provisional measures filed by Park and determined him as eligible for the Rio Games. Park appealed to sport’s top court after the Korean Olympic Committee left him off the national team because he was caught doping.
