ON THIS DAY: FIFA confirm investigation over Luis Suarez's 'bite'

On this day in 2014, FIFA confirmed that its independent disciplinary committee started their investigations into Uruguay striker Luis Suarez following an incident with Italy's Giorgio Chiellini.

The striker appeared to bite the Italian defender on his shoulder late in the second half of the game, an act which would violate articles 48 and 57 of the FIFA Disciplinary Code.

This wasn't the first time the striker had been involved in such incident - it was the third time he had bitten a player of the opposition.

FIFA went on to ban him for nine internationals, all football for four months and fined him 100,000 Swiss francs.
