Suarez Gets A 4-Month Ban After Biting Controversy

Uruguay and Liverpool striker, Luiz Suarez has been handed a huge four month ban from all forms of football after biting Italy's defender, Giorgio Chiellini on Tuesday. 

The striker has been also given a nine-match international ban and also a fine of $65,800  following a controversial incident in the World Cup during the clash of Italy and Uruguay. 

This is third time that the Liverpool-Uruguay striker has been found guilty on biting an opponent, previously biting Chelsea's Branislav Ivanovic and PSV's Otman Bakkal. This has turned out to be the reason that why fans have started calling Suarez as a ' Vampire Of Premier League '. 

FIFA have recently released a statement that the behavior shown by the striker is not acceptable on the pitch and can not be tolerated by the association. The leading goal scorer of the Premier League last season would miss the rest of the World Cup, with Uruguay set to take on fellow South American mates, Colombia in the Round Of 16. 

This news would turn out to be disastrous for Liverpool that their start striker would be missing the start of the 2014/15 season, just like the last season when he missed the starting ten games in the league. This ban is a subject to appeal, but would not come into much of a limelight till the tournament ends at Brazil. However, this news will no doubt come as a major blow for the player. 

After such a derogatory act on the pitch, and that too doing it for the third time, Suarez finds himself in the centre of the media and FIFA have been forced to spend their last 24 hours hearing and reviewing the evidences, especially with their Verdict lately today.

Many have also speculated that the ban might be extended to two years. Other have also debated that the ban could be worldwide for a long time or only in international matches, as the controversial incident happened in an international match.

Former England defender, Jamie Carragher said  “Suarez should not get a world wide ban as Liverpool do not deserve a punishment.  It has been one of the most shocking incidents in the history of World Cups, but unfortunately he has put himself into that bracket after biting Chiellini. Rather than being regarded as one of the finest forwards in the game, he is now simply known by people as the one who bites other players.”
