2008 Olympic champion Park Tae -hwan banned for 18 months :
South Korea`s four-time Olympic swimming medallist Park Tae-hwan was banned for 18 months by world swimming body FINA on Monday for failing a dope test.
The 25-year-old tested positive for a banned anabolic steroid at an out-of-competition control in September last year.
The ban for his first doping violation will run until March 2, 2016 which will in theory allow him to compete at the Rio Olympics later that year.
The positive test sent shock waves through the sport in South Korea where prosecutors last month announced charges against a doctor for giving Park an injection without disclosing it contained the banned steroid testosterone.
