Hackett receives good news on shoulder
Olympic and world champion swimmer Grant Hackett has been cleared of any serious shoulder damage after having surgery on the joint in Melbourne earlier this week.
Surgeon Dr Greg Hoy says the shoulder was in better condition than expected and he is confident Hackett will make a full recovery.
On Monday, Hackett announced he was pulling out of the Commonwealth Games to ensure he would fit for the 2008 Beijing Olympics.
In Beijing the Gold Coast based swim star will attempt to win an unprecedented third consecutive 1,500 metres gold medal.
