Because he was involved in an extraordinary legal battle that leads FIFA to impose a four-month suspension for World Cup on him.Luis Suarez's grandmothersays Suarez had been unfairly targeted by football's governing body which had treated him "like a dog." Suarez was yesterday handed a nine game international ban, and
four month ban from all football-related activity as punishment for biting Italy's Giorgio Chielini in his team's final Group D clash on Tuesday.
"Everyone knows what they've done to Luis. They wanted him out of the World Cup Perfect, they did it. They chucked him out of there like a dog," a sobbing Piriz Da Rosa said from Suarez's birthtown Salto in north-west Uruguay.
Piriz, who has 22 grand-children, said football authorities had been watching Suarez from the outset.
"This was on purpose," she said of the sanctions given to the brilliant but volatile Suarez, who has been punished three times now for biting and once for racism.
"They had their eyes on him to see what he does. It's barbaric what they've done to him," Piriz Da Rosa added.
