On Thursday, the Sports Arbitration announced that the four-month suspension of Barcelona footballer Luis Suarez remains in force, but he was allowed to train with the team.
At the end of June in the group stage match of the World Cup in Brazil, the Uruguayan clashed with Italy's defender Giorgio Chiellini, but the match referee ignored the incident.
The FIFA Disciplinary Committee saw the deliberate actions of 27-year-old L. Suarez, who had already been punished for similar behavior twice in his career in the Netherlands and England, and suspended the footballer for nine matches.
In addition, the Uruguayan was banned from any football-related activity for four months and had to pay a fine of 100,000 Swiss francs.
Specifically, Luis Suarez and Barcelona club appealed the decision to separate the player from club football. The Sports Arbitration decided that the imposed punishment is appropriate, but allowed the footballer to train with the new team.
