Luis Suarez 10-game ban: FA punishes Liverpool striker for bite
Liverpool striker Luis Suarez has been banned for 10 games by the Football Association for biting Chelsea's Branislav Ivanovic.
The 26-year-old later apologised for biting the Chelsea defender and was fined by Liverpool on Monday.
The club, who have until Friday at 12:00 BST to appeal, said they were "shocked and disappointed" at the length of the suspension.
Uruguay international Suarez had accepted the FA charge of violent conduct but claimed his ban should be three games, the standard punishment for violent conduct.
An FA statement read: "A three-person Independent Regulatory Commission today upheld The FA's claim that a suspension of three matches was clearly insufficient and the player will serve a further seven first-team matches in addition to the standard three. The suspension begins with immediate effect.
"The Liverpool forward had accepted a charge of violent conduct but had denied The FA's claim that the standard three-match sanction was insufficient for the offence.
"The incident was not seen by the match officials and has therefore been retrospectively reviewed.
"Suarez has until midday on Friday, 26 April to appeal the additional suspension, above the standard three matches."
The ban covers their final four games of this season, and the first six games of 2013-14.
LFC managing director Ian Ayre said: "Both the club and player are shocked and disappointed at the severity of today's Independent Regulatory Commission decision.
"We await the written reasons tomorrow before making any further comment."
It is not the first time Suarez has been charged with such an offence. He was banned for seven games when he was at Ajax after biting PSV Eindhoven midfielder Otman Bakkal's shoulder during a match in November 2010.
During his time at Liverpool, he was also given an eight-match ban and £40,000 fine by the FA for racially abusing Manchester United left-back Patrice Evra in December 2011.

Time to pack my bags! Suarez confirms he wants to leave Liverpool after being 'persecuted' in England
Luis Suarez has confirmed that he wants to leave Liverpool this summer after being 'persecuted' by the paparazzi.
The Liverpool striker has been heavily linked with a £40million move to Real Madrid, but has been quick to play down reports that he has already opened talks with the Spanish giants.
But it does seem that his exit from England could be getting closer as he would not commit to staying at Anfield and blamed his treatment by the Press for his reasons for going.
Packing his bags: Could Liverpool striker Luis Suarez be leaving Anfield for good this summer?
Family time: Suarez shopping on holidays in Uruguay with his wife Sofia and their daughter
Change of environment: Suarez says he could be ready for a change next season
Off we go: Suarez packs his shopping into the back of his car
He said: ‘It's a good moment for a change of environment because of all I've been through in England.'
He added: 'My reason for leaving is not the money. If it were the money I would have left already. My main reason is my family and my image.
'It is a difficult moment for me, my coach and my colleagues know that they [the press] didn't treat me well.
'Because of the paparazzi I could not go in my garden, I could not go to the supermarket
Bombshell: Suarez has admitted he would be tempted by a move to Madrid
Strike: Suarez scored 23 league goals in 33 appearances for Liverpool last season
'Being persecuted from the paparazzi all the time.
'The straw that broke the camel's back was my mistake
'If I stay I will do my best here, but I don't think that will happen because of all the bullying from the press against me.'
The striker was speaking in his homeland ahead of Uruguay's friendly with France in Montevideo on June 5.
Suarez, who was banned for eight games for racially abusing Manchester United's Patrice Evra in 2011, added: 'I have only words of thanks to the club, the fans of Liverpool.
'It (Liverpool) is a spectacular club, but they are aware of the way that the press treats me.'
International duty: Suarez is currently away with his Uruguay team-mates
Suarez joined Liverpool in a £22.7m deal from Ajax in 2011.
He scored 30 goals last season but missed the final two games of the campaign and will also miss the first eight games of next season after being found guilty of violent conduct for biting Branislav Ivanovic in April.
Suarez has rejected reports in Spain that he has begun talks with Real but has reiterated his interest in a move to the Bernabeu.
He said: 'It is normal that it is impossible to say no to big teams for which one always dreams. Yet I have nothing, I have not spoken with Real Madrid nor with Liverpool.
Strike: Suarez scored 23 league goals in 33 appearances for Liverpool last season
'My agent has not told me anything either and that leaves me alone, but they (the media) are speculating.’
Real president Florentino Perez signalled his club’s intent after being asked about speculation that a bid was imminent. He said: ‘Suarez is a great player, and I’m sure all the clubs in the world want him. I like him, but so do a lot of others.’
Though Liverpool will do their utmost to keep him, after awarding him a lucrative new four-year contract last summer, they are aware that he wants to see what Real have to offer and that they would be his club of choice, should he leave.
They are not interested in a player-exchange deal, but, with a shortage of funds for manager Brendan Rodgers’s transfer requirements this summer, would welcome an injection of cash from any Suarez transfer.

Liverpool sign Victor Moses from Chelsea on one-season loan for £1m • Winger Moses had slipped down Chelsea pecking order • Liverpool reported to be interested in two overseas defenders Victor Moses of Chelsea is heading for Liverpool on loan for one season after the clubs agreed a £1m fee. Photograph: Alex Livesey/Getty Images Liverpool are to take Victor Moses on loan from Chelsea after the clubs finally agreed a £1m fee for the season-long switch by the Nigeria winger. Moses, signed by Chelsea from Wigan Athletic last summer for £9m, has slipped down the pecking order at Stamford Bridge after the summer arrivals of Willian and André Schürrle, and Kevin De Bruyne's return from his loan spell at Werder Bremen. Chelsea have accumulated a number of players capable of operating from attacking midfield and the 23‑year‑old has been granted permission to seek first-team football elsewhere. Brendan Rodgers had earmarked him as a potential recruit earlier this summer and, despite Chelsea's initial reluctance to loan the player to a Premier League rival, the Liverpool manager has now been given approval by the Europa League winners to pursue the deal. Moses was in Prague on Friday for Chelsea's defeat to Bayern Munich in the Super Cup final, in which he did not feature, but has made clear his desire to move to Merseyside – despite interest from West Bromwich Albion, Southampton and Everton over the course of the summer – and will complete the move before Monday's transfer deadline with the loan fee now agreed. There is no option for Liverpool to make the deal permanent next summer, an indication that Moses could yet have a long-term future at Stamford Bridge. The forward was nurtured at Crystal Palace's academy before moving to Wigan for £2.5m in 2010, when Palace had slipped into administration. He impressed under Roberto Martínez to earn a surprise switch to Chelsea last summer and played 23 times in the Premier League, while his goalscoring form flourished in the latter stages of the club's successful Europa League campaign. Liverpool are reported to be interested in signing two defenders, the £15m-rated Mamadou Sakho from Paris Saint-Germain and Tiago Ilori of Sporting Lisbon, who would cost around £8m. The 23‑year‑old Sakho has 14 France caps, while Ilori, 20, has been capped by Portugal at assorted age-group levels.
