国际足联调查苏亚雷斯疑似咬人事件

Football's (soccer's) governing body has opened disciplinary proceedings against Uruguay's Luis Suarez, after he apparently bit an Italian player during a World Cup match.

FIFA has given Suarez and the country's football association until Wednesday afternoon to give their position on the incident and any relevant evidence.

In the 80th minute of Tuesday's game, Suarez was jostling in front of the goal with Italian defender Giorgio Chiellini when video and photos show what appeared to be Suarez biting into Chiellini's left shoulder. 

The Italian immediately dropped to the ground holding his shoulder, then got up and pulled back his jersey to show a red mark to the referee.

There was no foul called against Suarez, who has been banned twice before for biting opposing players.  After the game he said "these are things that happen on the pitch."

Chiellini gave a harsher reaction, saying it was "ridiculous" Suarez was not ejected from the game.
