H-Hogul, not only does it affect the EPL, it also affects the Champions League.

It's a 21 game suspension if you include that stuff, and like 30 games if you include friendlies (though I'm not as inclined to include those).

Not even close to enough. It's a slap on the wrist. - Krusty Jun 27, 05:34 10
- or like, gumming your food. -- nm - Max Jun 27, 07:36
- Not even that. It is a belly tickle. -- nm - David Jun 27, 06:08
- I'd have liked to have seen more, but the "just 9 games?" crowd are missing the full extent. - Reagen Jun 27, 05:36 7
  - realistically the nine games takes him out of (non-friendly) international play until at least 2016, - mafaça Jun 27, 06:27 1
    - right. It's not as if Uruguay can schedule a bunch of random games against muppets and run out his ban that way. -- nm - Reagen Jun 27, 06:36
  - does he not get to appeal and play during that process? seems to be what happens in MLB all the time -- nm - Beaker Jun 27, 06:02 2
    - Read the IM. Sounds like he could but isn't. -- nm - Reagen Jun 27, 06:06 1
      - read it. just wondering whether he couldn't appeal at all or decided not to. -- nm - Beaker Jun 27, 06:15
  - Right, it's more than that. The appeal thing I would have been fine with if it meant a much longer suspension. -- nm - Krusty Jun 27, 05:41 1
    - he probably won't be playing for Uruguay again until qualification for the next world cup. and a lifetime ban is overreaching. by a huge amount. -- nm - mafaça Jun 27, 06:40
