The decision came after a year-and-a-half legal battle and a fight to salvage her reputation, with CAS ruling that her anti-doping violations were not intentional but came from a contaminated supplement.

Two-time Grand Slam champion Simona Halep's four-year doping ban has been reduced to nine months by the Court of Arbitration for Sport, allowing her to return to tennis soon.

While one charge was upheld, another regarding irregularities in her athlete biological passport was dismissed. Halep, who has maintained her innocence, is now free to return to the WTA Tour after the backdated ban expired, and she looks set to compete at the highest level again.
