How the fuck can he be charged for something that isn't even included in the hearing?
How do you know if it's included or not?
Because the hearing has been about the FA charging Suarez. Patrice Evra is more or less irrelevant at this point. He reported the incident to the FA, presented his case, and based on that they charged Suarez weeks ago.
Suarez has admitted to saying what Evra claimed he said ("negro"), and as thus it is now FA vs Suarez, not Evra vs Suarez. The entire point of the hearing is simply for Suarez to present his defence to what he said. Then the FA will make their decision. Suarez' defence, as is well documented by the broadsheets, consists of "a cultural missunderstanding". This is what is being deliberated, nothing else.
