Former world tennis number one Simona Halep says she'll return to the sport with "renewed vigour" after having a four-year ban for doping reduced to nine months.

It means the two-time Grand Slam champion can get back to competitive action immediately.

Halep tested positive for a blood-boosting drug - but after appealing her ban, the Court of Arbitration for Sport said "on the balance of probabilities" she hadn't taken it intentionally.
