Luis Suarez says he won't attend another FIFA gala because of 'unfair' biting punishment

Luis Suarez will not attend any FIFA galas because he is still upset about his punishment for biting Giorgio Chiellini during the 2014 World Cup, he said on Onda Cero radio.

"You can punish someone, suspend them ... but to stop them going to a training center, for example, to see my nephew train, that seems so unfair to me," Suarez said. "I didn't understand it. Not at all."

The Barcelona and Uruguay forward was suspended for four months of soccer activity and nine international matches. It was his third biting incident; he had one while at Ajax and bit Chelsea's Branislav Ivanovic when he was with Liverpool.
