FA charge Luis suarez

The Football Association has charged Liverpool forward Luis
Suarez with violent conduct for his bite on Chelsea's Branislav
Ivanovic .
The Uruguayan sank his teeth into the defender's
arm in the second half of the two sides' 2-2 draw at
Anfield, later going on to seal the injury-time
equaliser.
The FA confirmed in a statement on its official
website that "the incident was not seen by the
match officials and has therefore been
retrospectively reviewed.
"It is alleged that the conduct of Suarez constitutes
violent conduct and it is the FA's contention that the
standard punishment of three matches that would
otherwise apply is clearly insufficient in these
circumstances."
The Liverpool star has until 18.00BST on Tuesday to
appeal, with an independent panel to be brought
together on Wednesday to hear the charge.
Suarez has been fined by his club, who have
indicated that they would accept any judgement forthcoming
from the FA.
