Luiz Suarez Ban By Fifa

Luiz Suarez was banned for nine international matches and from all football activity for four months by Fifa on Thursday for biting Italy's Giorgio Chiellini in Tuesday's final group game.
Uruguay won the match 1-0 to progress through to the knockout stages, and Italy were out of the World Cup at the group stage for the second tournament in a row.
Suarez was also suspended from any football-related activity for four months and fined 100 000 Swiss francs (£65 700). He will be unavailable for Barclays Premier League side Liverpool until November.
"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," Claudio Sulser, chairman of the Fifa Disciplinary Committee, said in a statement.
"The Disciplinary Committee took into account all the factors of the case and the degree of Mr Suarez's guilt in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Code. The decision comes into force as soon it is communicated."
Suarez will miss Uruguay's last-16 match against Colombia in Rio de Janeiro on Saturday and will play no further part in the tournament if they progress.
