Suárez given lengthy ban

Luis Suárez has been banned for eight matches and fined £40,000 (S$81,432) for racially abusing Patrice Evra.

Liverpool responded by accusing the Manchester United player of being "not credible" and alleging that the Football Association (FA) had deliberately set out to punish their player even before hearing the evidence.

The club is considering an appeal, with the punishment suspended and Suárez free to play until the process is completed, and the wording of their statement makes it clear they will not contemplate taking their own disciplinary action against a player who is understood to have admitted calling his opponent a "negro".
