Sprinter Justin Galtin had his doping ban reduced, but not by enough to make him eligible to defend his Olympic 100-meter title this year.
An arbitration panel, in a 53-page ruling released Tuesday, reduced the 25-year-old American's potential eight-year ban to four. With the ban set to expire May 24, 2010, it means Gatlin would be ineligible for the Beijing Olympics in August.
Still, the panel left open the possibility of a further reduction.
