Uruguay striker Luis Suarez has been suspended for nine international matches and banned from all football activity for four months for biting Italy defender Giorgio Chiellini, FIFA has announced.
But he claims there is "a conspiracy from England and Italy to get me banned."
Will he leave Liverpool? It's odds-on now, but will Barcelona and Real Madrid want him after this?
The two Spanish clubs have shown an interest in him in the past.
One thing is certain ... he is in for some SERIOUS abuse when he lines up for the Reds ... and it will be very interesting to see what Liverpool say about his antics.
If they back him, as they have in the past, there must be something seriously wrong at that club.
The Uruguay forward will play no further part in the World Cup in Brazil after his attack on Chiellini during his side's final group game on Tuesday, a 1-0 Uruguay win which saw them progress at Italy's expense.
FIFA confirmed the news at its daily briefing in Rio de Janeiro. The player has also been fined 100,000 Swiss francs (just under £66,000).
The four-month ban would prevent Suarez playing club football for Liverpool but he and the Uruguay FA are able to appeal against the sanctions.
However, even if the appeal is lodged and the process is under way he will not be able play in any matches.
A statement from FIFA read: "The player Luis Suarez is to be suspended for nine official matches. The first match of this suspension is to be served in the upcoming FIFA World Cup fixture between Colombia and Uruguay on June 28, 2014. The remaining match suspensions shall be served in Uruguay's next FIFA World Cup match(es), as long as the team (remains in the competition), and/or in the representative team's subsequent official matches.
"The player Luis Suarez is banned from taking part in any kind of football-related activity (administrative, sports or any other) for a period of four months.
"A stadium ban is pronounced against the player Luis Suarez in accordance with article 21 of the FIFA Disciplinary Code as follows: the player Luis Suarez is prohibited from entering the confines of any stadium during the period of the ban.
"The player Luis Suarez is prohibited from entering the confines of any stadium in which the representative team of Uruguay is playing while he has to serve the nine-match suspension.
"The player Luis Suarez is ordered to pay a fine in the amount of 100,000 Swiss Francs."
