(Reuters) - Park Tae-hwan finished fourth in the 200 metres freestyle final at the Brisbane grand prix on Saturday, as the former Olympic champion continues his preparations for the Rio Games despite a controversial doping ban exluding him from the Korean team.
Park, the first Korean to win an Olympic swimming medal when he won 400 freestyle gold in Beijing, completed an 18-month ban imposed by world governing body FINA in March after testing positive for testosterone ahead of the 2014 Asian Games.
