CAS ruling on Suarez plea likely next month

THE Court of Arbitration for Sport says it could rule on Luis Suarez’s appeal against his biting ban before the Spanish league season starts.

CAS says Suarez, the Uruguay football federation and Barcelona have filed a request for a fast-track appeal against FIFA’s ban for nine competitive international matches and four months from all football. The court said in a statement that “it is likely that a final award will be rendered well before the end of August.” The Spanish league season begins the weekend of August 23-24.

FIFA must also agree to a fast-track procedure. The court has set no hearing dates yet.
