Luiz Suarez originally tried to deny biting Chelsea's Branislav Ivanovic during a 2-2 draw at Anfield in 2013, according to the striker's former Liverpool team-mate Jamie Carragher.
It was not the first time Suarez had bitten an opponent, with the Uruguayan having been punished with a fine and a two-game ban during his time at Ajax for a similar attack on PSV's Otman Bakkal three years earlier.
The punishment for biting Ivanovic was much more severe, however, with the now-Barcelona forward being handed a 10-match ban after officials had initially missed the incident during the game.
