'Innocent' Suazo's UEFA ban Tuesday 16 October, 2007

Inter have reacted angrily after UEFA handed David Suazo a one-match ban despite video evidence suggesting he did not elbow a PSV player.

The Honduras striker was sent off after the final whistle of the 2-0 Champions League victory over PSV Eindhoven when a linesman maintained Suazo had elbowed Carlos Salcido.

Inter lodged an appeal against the red card, as video evidence seemed to show the two players had merely bumped heads.

“The risk was a three-match ban if it had been adjudged a violent act,” explained President Massimo Moratti.

“They have discovered that nothing happened and yet their rules still want them to inflict at least a single suspension.

“I think it would show far more common sense to admit it was a mistake and end it there. In any case, I am sorry for Suazo and he will get the opportunity to play in Serie A.”

Former Cagliari hitman Suazo will be suspended for the trip to CSKA Moscow on Tuesday October 23.

This was not Inter’s only disciplinary problem today, as the Curva Nord will be closed down for the October 31 match with Genoa for offensive banners aimed at visiting Napoli fans.
