"LS is regarded as having breached article 48 paragraph 1 of the Fifa disciplinary code, and article 57. He is to be suspended for nine official matches. The first match of this suspension is to be served in the upcoming Fifa World Cup game between Uruguay and Colombia." The nine-match ban is from all internationals.

There's also a four-month ban from all football, according to article 22 of the Fifa disciplinary code. And a ban from all football stadiums while matches are in progress, according to article 21. Plus a fine of 100,000 Swiss francs.

I had hoped for and expected a harsher penalty.

Fully expecting the Uruguayan FA to immediately schedule 9 meaningless and easy friendlies back to back over the next year.

They can't, international friendlies are on a fixed schedule.

Btw, if he's banned for 4 months of all football activity that means he's out until late October for his club, wherever he is by then.

Mesmerizing.

The player Luis Suárez is banned from taking part in any kind of football-related activity (administrative, sports or any other) for a period of four (4) months in accordance with art. 22 of the FDC.

· A stadium ban is pronounced against the player Luis Suárez in accordance with art. 21 of the FDC as follows: the player Luis Suárez is prohibited from entering the confines of any stadium during the period of the ban (point 3). The player Luis Suárez is prohibited from entering the confines of any stadium in which the representative team of Uruguay is playing while he has to serve the nine-match suspension (point 2).

If I'm understanding this right, he can't even officially train with Uruguay or Liverpool? And he can't even set  foot inside a football stadium?
