Luis Suarez Loses Sponsor Because Of Bites.

   

Buh this is so funny o! Uruguay striker Luis Suarez has lost a sponsor after he was banned for biting Italy defender Giorgio Chiellini.

Online gambling firm 888poker said it had "decided to terminate its relationship" with "immediate effect".

The Liverpool player, 27, was handed a four-month ban by governing body Fifa after being found guilty of biting Chiellini during a World Cup match.

Liverpool are seeking legal advice as Suarez cannot play for either club or country until the end of October.

He misses the rest of the 2014 Fifa World Cup in Brazil.

Uruguay will play Colombia in the last 16 on Saturday after qualifying from Group D behind Costa Rica.

Suarez joined 888poker as a worldwide ambassador shortly before the World Cup, and produced several video diaries for the website during the tournament, including one after his two goals in the 2-1 victory over England.

Suarez's boot deal with Adidas could also be in jeopardy after the sportswear manufacturer announced on Thursday it would consider its partnership with the player.

Liverpool remain unsure whether Suarez will be allowed to train during his ban, with the player set to earn about £3m during the time he is on the sidelines.

But while his future is unclear, it is understood the club have no intention of off-loading him on the cheap this summer, with both Barcelona and Real Madrid known to have had an interest in the player.

Suarez learned of his ban on Thursday after Fifa decided to open disciplinary proceedings.

He was judged to have bitten centre-half Chiellini on the left shoulder towards the end of Tuesday's group game, which Uruguay won 1-0 to qualify for the next stage.

Suarez denied the allegations, claiming Chiellini had bumped into him.

But Fifa decided he was guilty and handed him the longest ban in World Cup history.

As well as a four-month ban from any football-related activity, Suarez was also given a nine-match international suspension.

Spanish side Barcelona, however, remain keen on signing the striker
