Venezuela's president Nicolas Maduro has said Uruguayan striker Luis Suarez had been unfairly punished for helping eliminate Italy and England. Suarez claimed that he did not deliberately bite Italy's Giorgio Chiellini.
Luis Suarez has been banned for nine official matches and four months from any football activity for biting Italy defender Giorgio Chiellini, Fifa has announced.
The 27-year-old has also been fined 100,000 Swiss Francs (£65,700).
The striker will be unable to play in the rest of Uruguay's World Cup campaign.
If upheld, the four-month Luis Suarez ban from football would see him miss 16 matches, including nine Premier League games.
Big brands are continuing to exploit Luis Suarez's latest biting incident with a series of adverts.
Suarez needs to be frustrated on the training ground so he can learn how to respond differently, a sports psychologist has told ITV News.
