South Korean officials are reportedly trying to help swimmer Park Tae-hwan avoid a doping ban that will result in him missing the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio.

South Korean officials have reportedly held a meeting to discuss how swimmer Park Tae-hwan could avoid a doping ban that will stop him from competing at the Rio 2016 Olympics.

Last month, the 25-year-old's agency Team GMP confirmed that Park had failed a drugs test after he was injected with a banned substance by a doctor.

Park's representatives maintain that the swimmer was unaware that the treatment he received contained an illegal substance.

According to insidethegames.biz, the Korean Olympic Committee, Korea Swimming Federation and Park's agency met in Seoul this week to discuss the possible implications of a suspension.

The Olympic gold medallist faces a two-year ban and the KOC states that any athlete found guilty of doping cannot represent the nation for three years from the date of the suspension ending.

Park, who will stand before a hearing on February 27, could have all of the six medals that he won at the Asian Games in Incheon stripped from him.
