Suarez still banned but can train with Barcelona

Luis Suarez's four-month biting ban has been upheld by the Court of Arbitration for Sport, but the Uruguay striker can now train with new club Barcelona, reports BBC Sport. Suarez's lawyers argued world governing body Fifa's decision to suspend him from all "football-related activity" for biting Italy's Giorgio Chiellini at the World Cup was excessive.

He will also continue to serve his nine-match international ban but, having previously been banned from all "football-related activity", the former Liverpool player can now train and attend matches as well as undertake promotional activities.
