Skating official Park Seong-hyun says Lee Jung-su and Kwak Yoon-gy were notified Wednesday that their ban against competing was reduced from three years to one.

The scandal emerged when Lee failed to qualify for the 2010 worlds, citing a knee injury. An investigation found that a national team coach coerced Lee into giving up his spot for Kwak.
