It’s not like Luis Suarez to do whatever he can within the rules of the game to gain an advantage…
The Uruguayan striker came to the attention of most English fans at the 2010 World Cup, where he saved his country’s bacon with a deliberate handball on the goal-line against Ghana, and he has done plenty to enrage opponents and rival fans ever since.
But now he could be the unlikely beneficiary of this week’s FIFA arrests, with the Uruguayan Footballers’ Union (MUFP) using this as a chance to appeal the nine-match ban which Suarez received for biting Giorgio Chiellini at the World Cup.
If the suspension is overturned, it could provide a timely boost for the national side ahead of this summer’s Copa America.

MUFP tweeted that “If Luis Suarez agrees, we will ask for the end of his suspension for having been suspended by a body suspected of corruption.
“He was victim without any doubt of that alleged corruption,” the players’ union continued.
Just another thing for football’s governing body to sink their teeth into.
