In
his latest outburst at FIFA over Suarez's ban, Uruguayan President Jose Mujica
has called the world football governing body as "a bunch of old b******s"
in a TV interview, as reported by "The Independent" newspaper in the
United Kingdom today.
Suarez, the Liverpool forward, was handed a 9-match ban
and suspended from all football-related activity for 4 months for biting
Italian defender Giorgio Chiellini during their FIFA World Cup 2014 match last
week. The player has returned home from Brazil since then and was received by
President Mujica. He had strongly criticised the ban and now gone further in
attacking the officials at FIFA.
In an interview to Uruguayan TV, Mujica said:
"We can take sanctions, but not fascist sanctions." When asked,
"What does this World Cup mean to you?", Mujica replied "That
FIFA are a bunch of old b******s." "Following that remark the Uruguayan
president immediately covered his mouth with his hand," said the report in
"The Independent".
When asked "Can we broadcast that?",
Mujica replied "Broadcast it, for me," the report added.
