Luis Suarez's troubled season has hit a new - surprising - low, writes the Sunday People.
The controversial Liverpool striker has been lectured about his behaviour by none other than Zimbabwe president Robert Mugabe.
Uruguayan Suarez landed a 10-match ban for biting Chelsea defender Branislav Ivanovic at Anfield last month.
Now tyrant Mugabe, widely reviled for decades of misrule over the African state, has weighed into the debate by criticising Suarez.
The 89-year-old, a self-confessed Chelsea fan, said: “It was highly unprofessional for Luis Suarez to bite Branislav Ivanovic.
“Sporting events are contests and not declarations of war.
“Contests come at various levels. We have contests here in Zimbabwe like Dynamos versus Highlanders – those are contests at lower levels.
“They must train participants to recognise the reality of sport.
“Sport is sport – it is not war. But football seems now to have become a biting game. And a professional using his teeth...?”
