· The player Luis Suarez is to be suspended for nine (9) official matches. The first match of this suspension is to be served in the upcoming FIFA World Cup™ fixture between Colombia and Uruguay on 28 June 2014.

· The player Luis Suarez is ordered to pay a fine in the amount of CHF 100,000.
The decision was notified to the player and the Uruguayan FA today.
“Such behaviour cannot be tolerated on any football pitch, and in particular not at a FIFA World Cup when the eyes of millions of people are on the stars on the field. The Disciplinary Committee took into account all the factors of the case and the degree of Mr Suarez’s guilt in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Code. The decision comes into force as soon it is communicated,” said Claudio Sulser, chairman of the FIFA Disciplinary Committee.

Luis Suarez is expected to find out in the next 24 hours whether he will be banned for the rest of the World Cup over his apparent bite on Giorgio Chiellini.
FIFA fast-tracked their investigation into the incident which occurred during the second half of Uruguay’s 1-0 win over Italy.
Suarez, who could face a lengthy worldwide ban if found guilty, was set a deadline of 9pm to respond to the claims by World football’s governing body.
"We have to resolve it either today or tomorrow," said FIFA disciplinary panel member Martin Hong on Wednesday night. "It's our duty to see justice done."
Uruguay captain Diego Lugano has defended Luis Suarez and claims the incident with Chiellini was an isolated incident.
"The pictures don't show anything. They show an approximation," said Lugano.
“I think it's so, so clear, so evident, that it surprises me and I even find it funny the importance given to an isolated incident while nobody paid attention to much more potentially dangerous incidents for the health of players.
“I think that nowadays everything can be explained by what sells in football and the huge character of Luis Suarez."
Lugano believes Suarez is being singled out by the British media because he's such a special player.
"The British media has a vendetta against Suarez, and everyone knows that," he added.
"It's obvious the vendetta sells newspapers in England, otherwise you wouldn't be here. Uruguay and Italy played yesterday.
“On Saturday Uruguay plays Colombia, I don't know why there's a British journalist asking about Suarez."
Uruguay football federation president Wilmar Valdez has claimed Suarez was a victim of Italian aggression.
"When he falls, several substitutes insult him on the ground and some members of Italy's staff even came out of the bench to try to hit him," said Valdez.
FIFA's case against Suarez will be managed by a Swiss lawyer, Claudio Sulser, chairman of the FIFA disciplinary committee.
A former international forward himself, Sulser has worked for four years at FIFA, first as head of its ethics court.
Sulser can choose to judge the offence within the scale of typical red-card incidents: A three-match ban may then be appropriate, banishing Suarez at least until the World Cup final should Uruguay advance that far.
The maximum penalty would be a ban of 24 international matches.
FIFA can also choose to ban Suarez for up to two years. That would cover club and international games and would ruin a widely speculated transfer to Barcelona or Real Madrid.

Luis Suarez 'bite': Uruguay striker faces lengthy ban if found guilty
Uruguay's Luis Suarez faces a lengthy ban that would force him to miss the rest of the World Cup if found guilty of biting Italy's Giorgio Chiellini.Fifa, football's governing body, has opened disciplinary proceedings against the striker following Uruguay's 1-0 group win on Tuesday.
Chiellini claimed Suarez bit him on the left shoulder, but Suarez said the defender "bumped" into him.
Chiellini pulled down his shirt to display what appeared to be bite marks on his shoulderSuarez, 27, could be banned for up to 24 matches or two years.Mexican referee Marco Rodriguez took no action following the incident, but Fifa can still punish Suarez.
Radio 5 live's Richard Conway, who is in Brazil to report on the World Cup, said: "Fifa will want to deal with this quickly so attention can once again return to matters on the pitch.
Match of the Day pundits react to the 'bite'"Given that spitting at an opponent carries a minimum tariff of six games, you would expect biting to carry a ban in excess of that.
"That gives you the benchmark many people are working on and would mean his World Cup would be over."
Former Liverpool midfielder Jan Molby expects Suarez to be banned for the rest of tournament.
The Dane told the Liverpool Echo newspaper: "I'm sure Fifa will make an example out of him. Obviously, his World Cup is over and I would expect Fifa to give him a long international ban."
The longest ban in World Cup history is eight games, handed out in 1994 to Italy defender Mauro Tassotti for breaking Spain's Luis Enrique's nose with his elbow during the second half of their quarter-final.
Uruguay face Colombia in the last 16 on Saturday after finishing second in Group D behind Costa Rica.
Suarez and the Uruguayan Football Association have until 21:00 BST on Wednesday to respond to Fifa.
Suarez's actions have already received widespread condemnation.
Former England captain Alan Shearer told BBC Sport: "The pictures are damning and I don't see how he can get away with it."
Chris Waddle, a member of England's World Cup squads in 1986 and 1990, said: "There will be people who will defend him, but I don't know why. I'd make him wear a gumshield."
Suarez has twice been suspended for biting opponents.
The Liverpool forward was given a 10-game ban for biting Chelsea's Branislav Ivanovic's arm during a Premier League match in April 2013.
He was also suspended for seven games for biting PSV Eindhoven's Otman Bakkal's shoulder while Ajax captain in 2010.
In December 2011, Suarez was also given an eight-match suspension and fined £40,000 for racially abusing Manchester United's Patrice Evra.
After the Ivanovic incident, Liverpool said they had spoken to Suarez about his "unacceptable" behaviour.
"This is a club with incredible values and ethics," said Reds boss Brendan Rodgers at the time. "There's certainly no-one bigger than this club, a player or manager."
Suarez has also been criticised during his career for diving and stamping during games, prompting former Liverpool director of football Damien Comolli to suggest the Uruguayan could be driven out of England.
"This is a person who definitely needs some help," former England boss Graham Taylor told Radio 5 live.
"If you look at Suarez's reaction afterwards, it's like he knows what he's done."
Last season, he helped Liverpool to a second-placed finish in the Premier League, winning the Golden Boot with 31 goals in 33 games.
He was named player of the year by both the Football Writers' Association and Professional Footballers' Association.
Liverpool have not made any comment on the latest incident and will let Fifa deal with it before deciding on any action.
Asked about the alleged bite, Suarez told Uruguayan television after the game: "There are things that happen on the pitch and you should not make such a big deal out of them. It was just the two of us inside the area and he bumped into me with his shoulder."
Chiellini, 29, described Suarez as "a sneak".
He added: "I'd love to see if Fifa has the courage to use video evidence against him. The referee saw the bite mark but he did nothing about it."
The referee took no action at the time of the incidentFifa vice-president Jim Boyce said: "There is no doubt Luis Suarez is a fantastic footballer but, once again, his actions have left him open to severe criticism.
"Fifa must investigate the incident seriously and take whatever disciplinary action is deemed necessary."
After the clash between the players, Suarez fell to the ground holding his mouth, apparently suggesting he had been elbowed.
Chiellini ran after the referee to show him the alleged bite mark, pulling his shirt down to bare his left shoulder.
As he did so, Uruguay forward Gaston Ramirez tried to stop him by pulling the Italian's jersey back into place.
The incident occurred towards the end of the game, shortly before Suarez's team-mate Diego Godin scored the only goal of the match.
Godin's header eliminated four-time champions Italy from the 2014 Fifa World Cup and secured Uruguay, semi-finalists in South Africa four years ago, a match against Colombia in the next round.
