Uruguay's Luis Suarez Banned From Remaining World Cup Games for Biting Italy's Giorgio Chiellini
Luis Suarez, Uruguayan 2014 World Cup player, has been officially banned from the sport for four months for biting Italian player Giorgio Chiellini during their game on Monday (June 24).
The 27-year-old player has been banned for “football-related activities” and will rule him out of the World Cup as well as the start of the soccer season. Luis is also being banned from even entering the stadium. He has been fined $111,000 in addition.
Video of the incident shows that it is sort of unclear what actually happened during the game, but, it appears as if Luis charged Giorgio and ducked his head towards his shoulder. You can then see both men grasping their appendages in pain. See a video of the incident here.
