- 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.'
