Chelsea transfer ban reduced after appeal to Court of Arbitration for Sport

Champions League contenders Chelsea were cleared to make signings in the January transfer window on Friday, when the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) halved a transfer ban imposed on the club last February.

CAS said in a statement it had also halved Chelsea's fine to 300,000 Swiss francs ($300,840).
