Suarez ban ‘an act of barbarity’, says Uruguay skipper Lugano

Uruguay captain Diego Lugano described Luis Suarez’s four-month ban as ‘an act of barbarity’ that breaches the player’s human rights.

Fifa suspended Suarez from all football-related activity until the end of October after he bit Giorgio Chiellini during Uruguay’s final group game on Tuesday.

Suarez sat out Saturday’s second-round match against Colombia and Uruguay suffered without him, falling to a 2-0 defeat thanks to a brace from James Rodriguez.
