Brentford striker Ivan Toney was given a reduced ban from football because of a diagnosed gambling addiction.
Earlier this month Toney was banned for eight months after he accepted breaking Football Association betting rules.
A psychiatry expert who gave evidence to the FA's regulatory commission diagnosed Toney with a gambling addiction and concluded he needed professional help.
As a result, the commission reduced his 11-month sanction by three months.
In its written reasons explaining its sanction, published on Friday, the commission said Toney had admitted repeatedly lying during his initial interviews with the FA.
