Luis Suarez's grandmother defends Uruguay football player by slamming FIFA's "barbaric" move by imposing four month ban from all football-related activity as punishment for biting Italy's Giorgio Chiellini 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," Lila 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. "I'm his granny and I love my boy loads!" Piriz Da Rosa said.
Uruguay striker Luis Suarez is out of the World Cup after being handed a nine-match ban by FIFA for biting Italian defender Giorgio Chiellini during their Group D game.
The world's governing body said Thursday that Suarez is also banned from any football-related activity or from entering any football stadium for four months, meaning the Liverpool striker will miss the start of the Premier League and the Champions League season.
It is the biggest match ban ever imposed by FIFA at a World Cup and follows similar incidents involving Suarez.
