CAS upholds Suarez’s 4-month playing ban
Tashkent, Uzbekistan (UzDaily.com) -- The Court of Arbitration for Sport announced on Thursday that FIFA’s decision to ban Luis Suarez from football for four-months is to be upheld following his bite on Giorgio Chiellini during the World Cup.

However, the CAS allowed to train with his club. Suarez can also watch matches of his team from the stadium.

Suarez was suspended from all football related activity for four months for biting Italy’s Giorgio Chiellini at the World Cup in Brazil.

“The sanctions imposed on the player by FIFA have been generally confirmed,” CAS said in a statement. “However, the 4-month suspension will apply to official matches only and no longer to other football-related activities (such as training, promotional activities and administrative matters).”

“It has however considered that the stadium ban and the ban from “any football-related activity” were excessive given that such measures are not appropriate to sanction the offence committed by the player and would still have an impact on his activity after the end of the suspension.”
