By Norman Dabell BARCELONA, May 4 (Reuters) - Britain’s Elliot Saltman , returning to the European Tour this week after serving a three-month ban for cheating, is pleased with the reaction he has received from his fellow players. “It’s so good to be back, it’s been a long three months,” the 29-year-old told reporters on the eve of the Spanish Open. “A lot of guys have come up and welcomed me—I thought it might be difficult for me this week.” Saltman denied he was a cheat after being found guilty of breaching a regulation during the first round of a second-tier Challenge Tour event in September.

Huddersfield’s Graeme Horne has been handed a one-match ban for making a dangerous tackle on Catalan Dragons second-rower Jason Baitieri.

Horne admitted the charge for the offence which occurred in the 71st minute during the Giants’ 13-12 defeat by Dragons.

The former Hull FC centre will now miss the Challenge Cup fourth round tie against Batley.

The 26-year-old has also been fined £300 by the Rugby Football League.

The cautions issued to Thomas Bosc (Catalans), Paul Jackson (Castleford), Lee Mitchell (Harlequins) and Scott Taylor (Hull Kingston Rovers) will remain on their records and could be considered in the event of future disciplinary breaches.
