Milan - It's back to business in tennis for formerly banned Filippo Volandri after the Italian earned moral revenge as his three-month doping sanction was reversed on appeal.
The one-time number 25 clay-courter copped a three-month ban in January for a proscribed substance used in his asthma inhaler. But Volandri's lawyers successfully argued their case and got an overturn of the penalty by the international court of sports (CAS) in Lausanne.
Melbourne - Italian number 109 Filippo Volandri will miss the Australian Open after being slapped with a ban for using an asthma medicine containing a proscribed stimulant to excess.
The sanction handed down by the International Tennis Federation means that a new name will be inserted into the draw for the Open starting on Monday to face Mario Ancic, Volandri's original first- round opponent.
