New York (AFP) - Dallas Cowboys defensive end Greg Hardy's 10-match ban for a domestic violence incident was slashed to four games on Friday following an appeal to arbitrators.

The arbitration ruling upheld Hardy's suspension but cut the punishment imposed for "conduct detrimental to the league" following the incident involving Hardy and his former girlfriend Nicole Holder.

Hardy had been accused of choking Holder and threatening to kill her before throwing her onto a couch covered by shotguns and assault rifles which he claimed were loaded.
