Luis Suarez's grandmother defends
Uruguay football player by
slamming FIFA's "barbaric" move
by imposing four month ban from
all football-related activity as
punishment for biting Italy's
Giorgio Chiellini in his team's final
Group D clash on Tuesday.
"Everyone knows what they've done to Luis.
They wanted him out of the World Cup.
Perfect, they did it. They chucked him out of
there like a dog," Lila Piriz Da Rosa said
from Suarez's birthtown Salto in north-west
Uruguay.
Piriz, who has 22 grand-children, said
football authorities had been watching
Suarez from the outset.
"This was on purpose," she said of the
sanctions given to the brilliant but volatile
Suarez, who has been punished three times
now for biting and once for racism.
"They had their eyes on him to see what he
does. It's barbaric what they've done to him,"
Piriz Da Rosa added. "I'm his granny and I
love my boy loads!" Piriz Da Rosa said.
Uruguay striker Luis Suarez is out of the
World Cup after being handed a nine-match
ban by FIFA for biting Italian defender
Giorgio Chiellini during their Group D game.
The world's governing body said Thursday
that Suarez is also banned from any football-
related activity or from entering any football
stadium for four months, meaning the
Liverpool striker will miss the start of the
Premier League and the Champions League
season.
It is the biggest match ban ever imposed by
FIFA at a World Cup and follows similar
incidents involving Suarez.
