2011 World Championships 400 meters relay bronze Medalist Riker Hylton was today cleared of anti-doping charges brought upon him by the Jamaica Anti-Doping commission earlier this year.

The Independent Anti-Doping Disciplinary panel announced the decision that Hylton was not guilty of evading or refusing to give a sample to JADCO for tests last year.

Had Hylton been found guilty he would have faced a maximum ban of four years.

Hylton, who while be free to run, will not be at the World Championships in London. He has a personal best of 45.30 seconds and had a best individual result of finishing eighth in a 400 meters semi-final at the Daegu World Championships in 2011.
