Luis Suarez has called on FIFA to apologise for his World Cup bite ban.

The Uruguayan was slapped with a nine-game suspension and banned from any football-related activity for four months after biting Giorgio Chiellini during his country's win over Italy in Natal last summer.

He later secured a switch to Barcelona, helping the club to a fantastic treble last season - although the ban prevented him from playing in the recent Copa America with Uruguay.

And speaking to Fox Sports Radio in his homeland, Suarez claimed he deserves to be given an apology by football's governing body.

"When the Diego Godin goal went in, I didn’t celebrate the way I would’ve done," he said.

“I realised what I had done was wrong and I knew what could happen.

"In my view, FIFA’s Disciplinary Committee know my ban was excessive and at some point I’d love them to apologise and admit it was the wrong punishment, just as I admitted when I was wrong.”

Suarez also admits he lied to his own wife about biting Chiellini with the player and Uruguay arguing he had simply fallen on the defender.

However, the video evidence proved Suarez was guilty as he was handed the punishment before his side's last-16 defeat to Colombia.

He added: "“When Tabarez announced the sanction, I tried to be strong, but the tears were inevitable.

"Someone can make a mistake, but to say ‘you can’t even enter a stadium’ is incomprehensible."
