BRASILIA (Reuters) - Emotion played a part in FIFA's decision to hand out a four-month ban to Uruguay striker Luis Suarez for biting Giorgio Chiellini at the World Cup, with a period of reflection needed, World Players' Union FIFPro said.
FIFA handed out the biggest penalty ever imposed at a World Cup, which included a nine match ban, to the 27-year-old on Thursday after he bit the Italian defender near the end of Uruguay's 1-0 win over Italy in Group D on Tuesday.
