Juventus will not have to play their Serie A game against Lecce on Sunday behind closed doors after the Italian Olympic Committee suspended a ruling by the Italian football federation.
The Turin-based club received the punishment for the racist chants by their fans directed at Inter Milan's Ghana-born striker Mario Balotelli in a 1-1 draw earlier this month.
The club appealed to the Italian Olympic Committee (CONI), who said in a statement they would temporarily lift the ban until they meet again on May 14 to make a final decision.
