BARCELONA, May 4 (Reuters) – Britain\u2019s Elliot Saltman<\/a>, 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.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s so good to be back, it\u2019s been a long three months,\u201d the 29-year-old told reporters on the eve of the Spanish Open.<\/p>\n

\u201cA lot of guys have come up and welcomed me\u2014I thought it might be difficult for me this week.\u201d<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

The Scot was disqualified from the tournament for incorrectly marking his ball and was subsequently banned from golf in January.<\/p>\n

Chilean Mark Tullo<\/a>, one of Saltman\u2019s playing partners in Thursday\u2019s Spanish Open first round at El Prat, said it was time to draw a line under the incident.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou can look at it two ways but I guess he just made a mistake,\u201d said Tullo. \u201cIt\u2019s not like he kicked the ball forward or anything.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe all have to learn by our mistakes. If he wins on Sunday I\u2019ll congratulate him.\u201d<\/p>\n
