Luis Suarez banned from 9 internationals and 4 months from ALL football


Claudio Sulser,Chairman of the FIFA Disciplinary Committee said: 'Such behavior cannot be tolerated on any football pitch and in particular not at a Fifa World Cup, when the eyes of millions of people are on the stars on the field.'


WHAT ARE THE RULES? HOW FIFA FOUND AGAINST LUIS SUAREZ

FIFA found Suarez breached articles 48 and 57 of the Disciplinary Code in deciding his ban, and  Article 136 explains how he was banned from all football
48 - MISCONDUCT AGAINST OPPONENTS OR PERSONS OTHER THAN MATCH OFFICIALS
(1) Including the automatic suspension incurred in accordance with art. 18 par. 4, any recipient of a direct red card shall be suspended as follows:
a) one match for denying the opposing team a clear goal-scoring opportunity (particularly by deliberately handling the ball);
b) at least one match for serious foul play (particularly in the case of excessive or brute force);
c) at least one match for unsporting conduct towards an opponent or a person other than a match official (subject to art. 53, 54 and 57-60);
d) at least two matches for assaulting (elbowing, punching, kicking etc.) an opponent or a person other than a match official;
e) at least six matches for spitting at an opponent or a person other than a match official.
(2) A fine may also be imposed in all cases.
(3) The right is reserved to punish an infringement in accordance with art. 77 a).

57 - OFFENSIVE BEHAVIOUR AND FAIR PLAY
Anyone who insults someone in any way, especially by using offensive gestures or language, or who violates the principles of fair play or whose behaviour is unsporting in any other way may be subject to sanctions in accordance with art. 10 ff.
136 - REQUEST
(1) If the infringement is serious, in particular but not limited to doping (cf. art. 63), unlawfully infl uencing match results (cf. art. 69), misconduct against match officials (cf. art. 49), forgery and falsification (cf. art. 61) or violation of the rules governing age limits (cf. art. 68 a), the associations, confederations, and other organising sports bodies shall request Fifa to extend the sanctions they have imposed so as to have worldwide effect.
(2) Any doping-related legally binding sanction imposed by another international sports association, national anti-doping organisation or any other state body that complies with fundamental legal principles shall automatically be adopted by Fifa and, provided that the requirements described hereunder are met, may in principle be extended by Fifa to have worldwide effect.
(3) The request shall be submitted in writing and enclose a certified copy matching the decision. It shall show the name and address of the person who has been sanctioned and that of the club and the association concerned.
(4) If the judicial bodies of Fifa discover that associations, confederations and other sports organisations have not requested a decision to be extended to have worldwide effect, these bodies may themselves pass a decision.



  • Liverpool and Uruguay striker Suarez banned from football for four months 
  • He will miss Uruguay's next nine Fifa internationals and was fined £65,000 
  • Uruguay FA has confirmed it will be appealing the 'excessive' decision 
  • Sponsor Adidas has dropped Suarez from further World Cup promotions 
  • It is the third time Suarez has served a ban for biting in the last four years 
  • Fans in Rio de Janiero mocked ad by putting their arms in Suarez's mouth



The ban will mean Suarez misses the rest of the international tournament, including Uruguay's last 16 match against Colombia on Saturday, and the start of the 2014-15 Premier League season.
A 4-month ban from all football activity means Suarez will also not be able to play for his club Liverpool until October 26,2014
Luis Suarez has a highly controversial history as a player
In 2010 he earned the nickname the cannibal of Ajx after drawing blood from the shoulder of PSV Eindhoven's Otman Bakkal, receiving a seven match ban.

At the end of the 2012-13 season he was banned from another ten games after biting Chelsea's Branislav Ivanovic on the forearm.

In 2011, Suárez received an eight-match ban and was fined for racially abusing French defender Patrice Evra in a match against Manchester United after calling him a 'Negro' or 'Negros' seven times during the game.

In another 2010 incident Suarez was guilty of pulling off one of the World Cup's most glaring fouls when he cleared a goal-bound header from Ghana off the line with his hand late in extra time.
Suarez was sent off, but hung around near the tunnel to watch Ghana's Asamoah Gyan miss the penalty and then celebrated frantically.

He later boasted: 'Truth is it was worth it.'
