Adidas won't dump departing Liverpool striker Suarez

Adidas will stick with departing Liverpool striker Luis Suarez despite his World Cup biting controversy.

The Daily Mail says Suarez will not be dropped by adidas despite his four-month ban for biting an opponent at the World Cup.

The Uruguay striker signed for Barcelona last week in a £75million move from Liverpool.

But he will not return to action until the end of October following his attack on Italy's Giorgio Chiellini.

There had been speculation that several sponsors could terminate their links with Suarez, but adidas boss Herbert Hainer has confirmed his company will keep faith with the 27-year-old.
