Drama amidst drama! Football star Luis Suarez bites the dust and not in the way he would have hoped for. The leagues cup has just become six times longer for Suarez as he has been slapped with a six-match ban for his involvement in the spit-gate fiasco. Former Barcelona teammate, Sergio Busquets, and Real Betis midfielder, Tomas Aviles, have also been suspended from the league for differing lengths of time. The incidents occurred during Inter Miami's defeat to Seattle Sounders on Tuesday, July 26th. Amidst the drama, FIFA announced that Dutch striker Memphis Depay will be loaned to Atletico Madrid until the end of the season.

Suarez, who is notorious for previous incidents of misconduct on the pitch, seemed to have thought it would be a good idea to spit at Sounders assistant coach, Gonzalo Pineda, after being disgruntled at not receiving a penalty. He will serve a six-match ban, while Busquets will serve a two-match ban following his red card incident and Aviles, who received a straight red card after a foul in the area, will serve a three-match ban. These penalties were decided by the MLS Disciplinary Committee and FIFA Disciplinary Committee after reviewing the incidents.

This certainly isn't the first time Suarez has been involved in on-field misconduct. Who could forget the 2014 World Cup incident where he bit Italy defender, Giorgio Chiellini, on the shoulder? Or the time he refused to shake hands with the referee after his team's defeat in the Kings' Cup final?

This spitting incident, while extremely unpleasant, seems to be a recurring theme for Suarez. FIFA has yet to comment if this is the final straw for the controversial football star, but with the frequency of these incidents, one can only hope not.

Go!
