Liverpool player is disqualified for eight matches for two words

Forward of the Liverpool football club Uruguayan Luis Suarez is disqualified for eight matches and was fined 40 thousand pounds for racist statements to the dark -skinned defender Manchester United and the national team of France Patrice Evra. This was announced by the football association of England.

The verbal skirmish between Suarez and Evra took place in the match of the 8th round of the English Premier League championship, which took place on October 15 in the Enfield Road Liverpool on the Liverpool. During the incident, in the immediate vicinity of the players, there was an arbiter, but until recently it was unclear whether the words that the Uruguayan striker addressed the French defender to the Uruguayan Forward.

Having studied the video, the football association of England found that during the match, Suarez used incorrect expressions “indicating ethnic affiliation of both/or race and skin color”. The statement stated that the actions of the Uruguayan football player contradict the norms and rules of the association, ITAR-TASS reports.

In the 57th minute of the match, Suarez violated the rules against Evra, as a result of which a verbal skirmish ensued between the players. After Judge Andre Marriner intervened in a quarrel, the Uruguayan striker apologized to his opponent and tried to pat him on the head as a sign of reconciliation. “Do not touch me, the South American (Donat Touch Me, You South American),” said Evra, referring to Suarez, to which the Uruguayan answered in Spanish: “Why, Negro? (Porque, Negro?)”

Two minutes later, the offended Evra focused against the Dutch “Liverpool” Dirk Kuite, for which he received a well -deserved yellow card from Marriner. “You will finish me only because I am black,” the outraged Frenchman shouted to the arbiter.

The leadership of Liverpool has already made an official statement regarding the decision on the disqualification of its player, which expressed surprise and disappointment of the verdict.
