Suarez's career hanging from a thread as his own club slam him
Scandals are overshadowing Luis Suarez's greatness at Liverpool. His place seems too big to fill but the Reds could consider anything for the EPL's most troublesome player.
Luis Suarez got the full support of Liverpool FC during the race row involving Patrice Evra. However, the handshaking incident which occurred last weekend at the Theatre of Dreams appears too damaging for Liverpool to take.Suarez refused to shake Evra’s hand at the start of the game.

In the aftermath of the match, Sir Alex Ferguson had no sympathy for troublemaker Luis Suarez. The highly respected Scot told Sky Sports the following:

Wayne Rooney clinched a vital brace as Suarez’s late goal through Rio Ferdinand’s blunder in defence proved to be nothing more than a consolation.Suarez snubbed Evra but shook the hand of goalkeeper David de Gea.

A racist, a troublesome guy or a lively player – Who is Liverpool’s Luis Suarez?
There is only one Luis Suarez in England but football fans with different opinions have their own version of what the Uruguayan striker’s personality really is like.
Sandra Diaz, Luis Suarez’s mother, claims to know the 24-year-old better than anyone in the world. The Montevideo inhabitant spoke to the press on Wednesday as she came in defense of her accused son, saying:
“I laugh when they call my son racist. Nothing could be further from the truth. I'm afraid now when he comes up against a black person, especially because they're going to go looking for him.
“I know my son. I know he has to calm down a bit with things like the salute he made to rival fans. But he's no racist.”
Others believe that this race row, marked by the alleged use of the word “negro” or “negrito”, is the result of cultural misunderstanding.

"Luis is a victim" after FA charge Suarez with racism - Uruguay captain Diego Lugano
Diego Lugano and great part of the Uruguayan national team expressed their undivided support for the Liverpool sharp-shooter.
Several of Luis Suarez's Uruguay team-mates got together to support the Liverpool striker after he received both a heavy sanction and a hefty fine for being found guilty of racially abusing Manchester United defender Patrice Evra in October."I can't believe it. They are making a big mistake. It's obvious that in England they have a racism problem which they are trying to address, and it's okay, but here they don't have solid evidence. Luis is a victim. I can't believe that a player like Evra can do this. He is breaking all the ethics of soccer," declared Uruguay captain Diego Lugano.
"All of us know what type of person Luis is, and the values that he has. We are all very hurt. When a team-mate of ours is suffering, we are all suffering. Now all we can do is support him and be on his side," he added.

Why England captain John Terry must receive the same (or worse) treatment as Luis Suarez
Liverpool striker Luis Suarez was handed an eight game ban by the English Football Association yesterday, for racially abusing Manchester United defender Patrice Evra.
There was no video evidence backing the FA’s decision, and Liverpool have complained about the decision seeming to be based largely on the word of Patrice Evra.While Liverpool have a justified gripe in that regard, it is hard to feel sorry for Suarez, a man who is currently under another investigation for aiming an abusive hand gesture toward Fulham fans, and has previously been convicted for biting an opponent while playing for AFC Ajax. After his infamous handball during the 2010 World Cup, it is also unlikely that Suarez has many sympathizers in Ghana after his latest incident.
Suarez has had his supporters during this case, but some of the people defending him have stooped to a pathetic level while doing so.
What Luis Suarez’s 8-match ban means to Liverpool, the player & anti-racism in football
Luis Suarez has been hit with one of the toughest bans in the history of the Premier League as English football chiefs claim to be at work against racism.
The Liverpool striker received an 8-match ban in addition to a £40,000 fine for being found guilty of racial abuse against Manchester United’s French defender Patrice Evra during a league match on October 15, 2011. According to reports, Suarez didn’t deny repeatedly using words which referred to Evra’s skin color and African origins. The Liverpool forward, however, claimed that the word “negrito” he used is acceptable and not racist in Uruguay. But the Independent Regulatory Commission composed of three men, including Paul Goulding QC, would hear none of Luis Suarez’s explanations.
Football Against Racism in Europe’s Piara Powar insisted that “negrito” sounded “racially offensive” in any case. Devastated by the issue, Luis Suarez left the following notes on his Twitter account:
Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo & Xavi make 2011 FIFA Ballon d’or shortlist

The announcement was made on Monday morning by France Football director Francois Moriniere and FIFA Secretary General Jerome Valcke. Lionel Messi, who is the hot favorite to grab the prize, could emulate Michel Platini’s record of three consecutive Ballon d’Or triumphs. His team mate from Catalonia, Xavi Hernandez, has never won the award despite receiving worldwide praises for his majestic attitude on and off the pitch. Cristiano Ronaldo, meanwhile, succeeded in the voting of the 2008 edition.

“There are cameras…you can see him say a certain word to me at least 10 times,” Evra told The Times newspaper. To Evra’s credit, he then let the FA deal with the situation and got on with playing for United.
Suarez has denied the accusations, and took to social media to defend himself. “I can only say that I have always respected and respect everybody. We are all the same,” the Reds forward wrote on Twitter. “I go to the field with the maximum illusion of a little child who enjoys what he does, not to create conflicts.”
