 Kallon should be free to play again next month |
Inter Milan's Sierra Leone striker Mohammed Kallon has had his doping ban reduced after an appeal. Kallon was suspended after testing positive for the performance-enhancing steroid nandrolone.
The Sierra Leone captain was originally banned for eight months.
The Italian Football Federation's appeal commission has now reduced that to six months
Kallon's suspension began in October.
He tested positive for the drug after Inter's game with Udinese in September.
Last month, Fifa president Sepp Blatter said his organisation intended to take another look at Kallon's ban after fellow Serie A player, Libyan Al Saadi Gaddafi, received a much shorter ban for the same offence.
Gaddafi, who plays for Perugia, served a three-month ban after testing positive for nandrolone.
