The FIFA Disciplinary Committee has reached a decision in the case related to Luis Suárez of Uruguay following an incident that occurred during the FIFA World Cup™ match between Italy and Uruguay played on 24 June 2014.

The FIFA Disciplinary Committee has decided that:

· The player Luis Suárez is regarded as having breached art. 48 par. 1 lit. d of the FIFA Disciplinary Code (FDC) (assault), and art. 57 of the FDC (an act of unsporting behaviour towards another player).

· The player Luis Suárez is to be suspended for nine (9) official matches. The first match of this suspension is to be served in the upcoming FIFA World Cup™ fixture between Colombia and Uruguay on 28 June 2014. The remaining match suspensions shall be served in Uruguay’s next FIFA World Cup match(es), as long as the team qualifies, and/or in the representative team’s subsequent official matches in accordance with art. 38 par. 2a) of the FDC.

· The player Luis Suárez is banned from taking part in any kind of football-related activity (administrative, sports or any other) for a period of four (4) months in accordance with art. 22 of the FDC.

· A stadium ban is pronounced against the player Luis Suárez in accordance with art. 21 of the FDC as follows: the player Luis Suárez is prohibited from entering the confines of any stadium during the period of the ban (point 3). The player Luis Suárez is prohibited from entering the confines of any stadium in which the representative team of Uruguay is playing while he has to serve the nine-match suspension (point 2).

· The player Luis Suárez is ordered to pay a fine in the amount of CHF 100,000.

The decision was notified to the player and the Uruguayan FA today.

“Such behaviour 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. The Disciplinary Committee took into account all the factors of the case and the degree of Mr Suárez’s guilt in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Code. The decision comes into force as soon it is communicated,” said Claudio Sulser, chairman of the FIFA Disciplinary Committee.

@danroan: Suarez not even allowed inside a stadium or to train for 4 months.

 

Bit short-sighted that - instead of a finite number of people being at risk while he was at a game, or at training, instead the whole general public runs the risk of being gnashed!  :o

Wonder if Liverpool will have the moral courage to do something? I know he's on international duty when he did it but I imagine Mr Henry and Mr Rodgers are pulling their hair out....

One interesting thing is that Suarez's biting paid off. They scored really soon after the incident and Italy coudn't get back. Now Suarez is out of the next qualifying rounds which won't mean anything to him or the team.

Is anyone going to point out it's Dexter Blackstock retweeting a betting tips account?

 

The irony is strong with this one, Obi-Wan.

It surprises me that this hasn't been picked up by the law by now, considering it is the third (high profile) time he has bitten someone - although, I guess this would require the bitten party to have pressed charges?

 

A regular person would have probably spent at least 12 months in prison - 3rd offence for ABH, surely?
