Park Tae-hwan swims at the Olympic Swimming Pool in Songpa District, Seoul, Monday. This is the first time that Park has resumed his training in a 50-meter pool after he was slapped with an 18-month ban for testing positive for testosterone in March. Park has been unable to train in an Olympic-size swimming pool as he is banned from government and Korea Swimming Federation-run facilities. But the International Swimming Federation allowed him to train with his former coach Roh Min-sang as a general member of Roh's swimming club. / Yonhap
