(Reuters) - Trinidad and Tobago sprinter Kelly-Ann Baptiste can return to competition following the resolution of her doping hearing before the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS), according to her national federation.

The National Association of Athletics Administrations of Trinidad and Tobago (NAAA) said in a statement that while provisions of the proceedings for the 2011 world 100 metres bronze medallist will not be made public, "the NAAA can confirm that Ms Baptiste is free to return to competition with immediate effect."
