Barcelona striker Luis Suarez still disputes his punishment for racially abusing Manchester United's Patrice Evra. While he accepts his current suspension, and the 10-game ban imposed for a similar incident involving Chelsea's Branislav Ivanovic were his own fault, he is still unhappy over how his argument with Evra in October 2011 was dealt with.
"It is good to accept that you have made a mistake and that's what I did," he told his club's official website in reference to the Chiellini bite.
"I left it a few days because you have to remember that I'm only human and sometimes it's hard to face the truth.
"I found it hard to take in and to realise what I had done. Those were days when I didn't want to know about it.
"I just wanted to be with my wife and children, who supported me through that time.
"I didn't want to listen to anybody, or speak to anybody. I didn't want to accept it. When I say I'm sorry it's because I regret something. Being sorry implies regret.
"But they have also sometimes judged me on things that aren't true, such as the racism thing. I was accused without evidence and that's what grieved me the most.
"The others were actions when it was me who did wrong. I accepted that and begged forgiveness, but the racism thing, when I was accused without evidence, that did upset me."
