Though unofficial at this time, as the CAS website has crashed, various press members and outlets are reporting the Court of Sports Arbitration (CAS) have upheld Luis Suárez’s four month ban. They have however lifted the absurd component prohibiting him doing “all football activities”, meaning the Uruguayan can now participate in all FC Barcelona activities save actual competition. This ruling is contrary to what several sport law professionals had anticipated, believing FIFA’s ruling was going to be seen as disproportionate based on the original intention of the statute the world governing body used to apply the four month ban at domestic club level. The recidivism of the act must have been a deciding factor. An official statement will be posted when available. And yes, that does mean he will officially debut against Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabéu. |
