Liverpool striker Luis Suarez has been banned for eight matches and fined 40,000 pounds for racially abusing Manchester United defender Patrice Evra during a Premier League match at Anfield in October, the FA said on Tuesday.
Uruguay international Suarez was found guilty of misconduct after using "insulting words" towards Evra during the game on October 15, including a reference to the France defender's colour.
