MELBOURNE (Reuters) - Three years after becoming the pariah of Australian swimming, Shayna Jack can finally look ahead with hope after coming back from a doping ban to book her place at the world championships and Commonwealth Games.

The 23-year-old finished second behind Mollie O'Callaghan in the women's 100 metres freestyle final at national trials in Adelaide on Wednesday and burst into tears while still in the pool.
