(Reuters) - Thorbjorn Olesen's ban has been lifted by the European Tour after his trial for misconduct was postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the tour's governing body said on Thursday.

Denmark's Olesen was arrested at London's Heathrow Airport in July last year and charged with sexual assault, being drunk on an aircraft and common assault.
