SYDNEY (Reuters) - Rio Olympics silver medallist Madeline Groves has been cleared of a third breach of anti-doping 'whereabouts rules' and is free to compete at next year's Commonwealth Games, Swimming Australia said on Saturday.

The 22-year-old, who won silver in the 200m butterfly behind Spain's Mireia Belmonte in Rio, had missed her third test at her residence in the United States in May.
