Maradona has voiced his support for Luis Suarez in the face of a 4 month ban that has polarised opinion the world over. There are many that believe that Suarez' ban was not sufficient for a culprit who has offended twice before.

Contrastingly, many believe that Suarez has become the focus for a media 'witch hunt', and that in the larger scheme of things, a bite isn't as bad as a broken leg, nose or career ending foul. Maradona seems to preside over this opinion.

Why? Who is killed? This is football, this is friction

Why not send him to Guantanamo?

FIFA caught some shrapnel in Maradona's scathing attack. He accused Sep Blatter and FIFA of crucifying Suarez.
