One bite too many for Suarez, Fifa must show teeth

He can have no more excuses, nor does he deserve sympathy

SO much for having turned over a new leaf. When it comes to Luis Suarez, he's the perfect example of a leopard that will never change his spots.

For all the natural talent that this 27-year-old Uruguayan footballer possesses, what he also has in abundance is sheer stupidity. He should have been busy celebrating his country's progress to the knockout stage of the World Cup in Brazil. Instead, he is facing a possible 24-month ban from the sport.

His crime? Biting an opponent - yet again. For the third time, football's modern-day Dracula has sunk his incisors into the flesh of another human being. This time, poor Giorgio Chiellini of Italy was the victim.
