Kento Momota’s indefinite playing ban is officially ending.

The Nippon Badminton Association (NBA) decided over the weekend to lift Momota’s suspension on May 15, allowing the 22-year-old former world No. 2 badminton player to compete again, the Kyodo news agency reported.

Momota missed the Rio Olympics last year after he admitted to spending time in casinos with another badminton player, 27-year-old Kenichi Tago. The association banned Momota from playing “indefinitely,” while Tago was deregistered by the association—a more severe punishment due to his more gambling habit.

The 22-year-old’s behavior as well as his job performance with NTT East were considered by the board, who didn’t object to the lifting Momota’s ban. NBA executive director Kinji Zeniya previously said Momota has been “giving his all, and I believe he has been handed enough punishment.”
