Evra is the boy who cried nigga.

Well, guess the FA did have conclusive evidence then.

Incredibly harsh.

An Independent Regulatory Commission has today [Tuesday 20 December 2011] found a charge of misconduct against Luis Suarez proven, and have issued a suspension for a period of eight matches as well as fining him £40,000, pending appeal.

On 16 November 2011, The Football Association charged Luis Suarez with misconduct contrary to FA Rule E3 in relation to the Liverpool FC versus Manchester United FC fixture on 15 October 2011.

A hearing took place from 14-20 December 2011 before an Independent Regulatory Commission of The FA to consider the charge.

The Independent Regulatory Commission announced its decision on 20 December 2011, which is as follows:

Mr Suarez used insulting words towards Mr Evra during the match contrary to FA Rule E3(1);
the insulting words used by Mr Suarez included a reference to Mr Evra's colour within the meaning of Rule E3(2);
Mr Suarez shall be warned as to his future conduct, be suspended for eight matches covering all first team competitive matches and fined the sum of £40,000;
the [penalty] is suspended pending the outcome of any appeal lodged by Mr Suarez against this decision.
The Independent Regulatory Commission will provide written reasons for its decision in due course setting out:

(a) the findings of fact made by it;

(b) the reasons for its decision finding the charge proved; and

(c) the reasons for the penalty.

Mr Suarez has the right to appeal the decision of the Independent Regulatory Commission to an Appeal Board. An appeal must be lodged within 14 days of the date of the written reasons for the decision.

The penalty is suspended until after the outcome of any appeal, or the time for appealing expires, or should Mr Suarez decide not to appeal. The reason for this is to ensure that the penalty does not take effect before any appeal so that Mr Suarez has an effective right of appeal.

tbh it's deserved. Racism has no place in Football

Liverpool relegation

Always next year.

Wow I was hoping for a lengthy ban but I didn't think the FA would actually do it.

I expect Arsenal to take full advantage of this.

Suarez + Kenny an co will appeal. Going to be interesting to see what happens.

Looking forward to finally seeing some proof too. Where is it?

Good if true.

You're disgusting.

Does that include the Fulham thing?

Just saw this on Facebook.

Let's see if England's Brave John Terry gets anything similar. Won't hold my breath.

Hope we appeal.

Glad he's out for the games against us.

Good, racism has no place in football.

AHAHAHAHA

Cue the conspiracy theories

Surely he'll be thrown out of the club now?

Be interesting to see if they disclose any of the evidence.

If Liverpool don't appeal his first game back could be against United at Old Trafford

Kick racism out of football. ..... for eight games.
