The 21-year-old tested positive for a banned substance in May. But the Badminton World Federation (BWF) cleared her after ruling that the substance had been administered to treat a tendon injury and was allowed.
"I was confident in my innocence and I am glad that I received justice. I will practice and hope to bring a medal back for Thais," said Intanon.
"The Olympics is my dream," she added, before bursting into tears. Rumours of the result first surfaced in the Thai media last week, leaving fans on tenterhooks.
