FIFA president Sepp Blatter, has supported the ban imposed on Uruguay striker Luis Suarez, for biting Italy defender Giorgio Chiellini.
Suarez has been handed a nine-match international ban and a four-month suspension from all football-related activity as punishment.
Blatter says his actions were inappropriate, but refused to comment on the severity of the punishment slapped on Suarez.
“I am fighting for fair play on the field of play and fair play off the field of play,” the 78-year-old told journalists.
“But especially on the field of play and this is not fair what he has done. It’s definitely not fair.
“Now to discuss the decision that has been taken by a panel of seven judges. It’s not up to me to make a comment on that.
“Obviously they have taken into consideration the other incidents of this player who has already been banned in football or suspended in football for the same activity.
“I cannot say whether it is too much or too little. This is an independent decision from Fifa.”
