CYCLE:Record doping ban reduced

International sport's top court has cut a record 20-year doping ban imposed on Italian
cyclist GIANNI DA ROS, reducing it to four years.

The Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) says it has partially upheld an appeal filed
by DA ROS against the decision of the Anti-Doping Tribunal of Italy's National Olympic
Committee of Italy (CONI) in November 2009.

The 23-year-old was arrested during a nationwide police swoop in March 2009 and accused
of trafficking doping substances.
