I'd have liked to have seen more, but the "just 9 games?" crowd are missing the full extent.

I've also seen some suggestion that they felt this is the maximum they thought they could give him without him appealing and still getting to play in the WC.

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
