Luis Suarez Banned for 8 Premier League Games

An Independent Regulatory Commission has today [Tuesday 20 December 2011] found a charge of misconduct against Luis Suarez proven, and have issued a suspension for a period of eight matches as well as fining him £40,000, pending appeal.

On 16 November 2011, The Football Association charged Luis Suarez with misconduct contrary to FA Rule E3 in relation to the Liverpool FC versus Manchester United FC fixture on 15 October 2011.

A hearing took place from 14-20 December 2011 before an Independent Regulatory Commission of The FA to consider the charge.

The Independent Regulatory Commission announced its decision on 20 December 2011, which is as follows:

Mr Suarez used insulting words towards Mr Evra during the match contrary to FA Rule E3(1);
the insulting words used by Mr Suarez included a reference to Mr Evra's colour within the meaning of Rule E3(2);
Mr Suarez shall be warned as to his future conduct, be suspended for eight matches covering all first team competitive matches and fined the sum of £40,000;
the [penalty] is suspended pending the outcome of any appeal lodged by Mr Suarez against this decision.
The Independent Regulatory Commission will provide written reasons for its decision in due course setting out:

(a) the findings of fact made by it;

(b) the reasons for its decision finding the charge proved; and

(c) the reasons for the penalty.

Mr Suarez has the right to appeal the decision of the Independent Regulatory Commission to an Appeal Board. An appeal must be lodged within 14 days of the date of the written reasons for the decision.

The penalty is suspended until after the outcome of any appeal, or the time for appealing expires, or should Mr Suarez decide not to appeal. The reason for this is to ensure that the penalty does not take effect before any appeal so that Mr Suarez has an effective right of appeal.



Meanwhile I will take out my anger on a poster of Patrice Evra and pray to god the FA headquarters is bombed with a nuclear strike.

Un.believable.

This is gonna be interesting.

*bleep* joke so it is. fa are nothing but a bunch of *bleep*.

Meanwhile in Spain

What a joke!! I don't even like Suarez or Liverpool, but to be banned for 8 games because you called somebody a name is ridiculous.

wow

Liverpool are so *bleep*.

‎'Prevaricate' means that somebody gives false and incriminating information. Ironically, prevaricate is an anagram of Patrice Evra...

Bye bye CL qualification

The world has gone mad.............go to Manchester United Game and hear the shit that gets shouted at the players..................

You know what negrito means in official Castillian spanish

"little black"

The next time Evra calls somebody a white boy he should get a 8 match suspension.

So you can commit a terrible tackle and break someone's leg and you only get a 3 match ban. But if you call somebody a name it's an 8 game ban, lol what is this game coming to?

1) He called Evra a "negrito" and claimed he was doing it in a friendly manner, regarding the fact that he and Evra are not friends.

2) He continued to rile up Evra, knowing full well that Evra was getting irritated. Yet he continued to do it. That doesn't sound like someone "who didn't know the word is offensive in Europe"

3) He has been in Europe, surrounded by many black players, so I don't understand how he doesn't know that that word would be offensive to many people.

Conclusion: Well done the FA for stamping down on a serious issue such as this and setting a precedent towards others. Racism should not be tolerated in football.

To be fair, calling someone a monkey isn't considered racist in uruguay

Racist or not he called him a name. So what! When did 'Sticks and stones may break my bones but names will never hurt me' stop being relevant. There are no words that can describe how little I would care if somebody called me a 'honky' or a 'cracka'. They are words and words don't hurt!

I can't believe what I'm reading here^^ To insult someone because of their colour has no place in football, or any other profession.

nice outcome, now let's see if the FA will have the balls to do the same with Terry

It's a word commonly used in South America. Hell, recently Pacheco said something with the word on Twitter. I'm not going to argue about this though. I hope Liverpool take this to the courts.
