three months of the ban suspended

[GoodTaste]

On 8 August 2018, Peng was banned for 'coercing her partner' receiving a six months suspension with three months of the ban suspended, and fined $10,000 with $5,000 suspended following an investigation by the Tennis Integrity Unit, for attempting to change her doubles partner by offering the possibility of a financial reward in return for her partner agreeing to withdraw, after the deadline had passed, at the 2017 Wimbledon Championships.

The meaning of the phrase "three months of the ban suspended" is not very clear to me. It seems to mean "(if Peng well behaved, then the ban would be removed, otherwise), the ban would continue for another 3 months". Not sure whether I am on the right track.
What does the phrase exactly mean?

You're right.

Yes. She was banned for six months but with the condition that if after the first three months she had not committed any further violations, she would be free to compete again.

Yes, but say if she behaved herself not if she well behaved.
