Argentina
legend Diego Maradona, has criticized the four-month ban FIFA has
slapped on Uruguay striker Luis Suarez, labelling it “a disgrace”.
Suarez
has been handed a nine-game suspension from international football and
banned from all anything related to football for four months, for biting
Italy defender Giorgio Chiellini on the shoulder.
It is the third
time the striker will be punished for biting another player, but
Maradona says he has been treated like someone who committed murder.
“This
decision is a disgrace,” he said on TV show, De Zurda. “I can’t
understand this. Who did Suarez kill to get this kind of ban. Why don’t
[Fifa] handcuff him and send him to Guantanamo [Bay]?
“A player
works hard the whole year to be able to play at the World Cup, and Luis
scored 29 goals and they kick him out of the World Cup like this. It’s
unbelievable.
“Remember [Zinedine] Zidane and what he did in that [2006] World Cup final? Fifa then gave him the Golden Ball.”
