World badminton federation clears Ratchanok in dop (Yahoo Sports)

Former badminton world champion Ratchanok Intanon has been cleared of a doping breach and will be allowed to compete at the Olympics next month. The Badminton World Federation issued a statement Monday saying it had lifted a provisional suspension on the No. 4-ranked Ratchanok, allowing Thailand’s Olympic medal hopeful to return to competition immediately. In the Thai capital Bangkok, Ratchanok broke down in tears as she spoke at a news conference held to announce the good news locally.
