The new Suarez? Player gets six month ban for biting

Joss Labadie was suspended for 10 matches last season after altercations with two Chesterfield players and will now miss six months for his latest indiscretion.

Dagenham and Redbridge midfielder Joss Labadie has been banned for six months by the Football Association (FA) after being found guilty of biting for a second time.

The 24-year-old was charged by the FA after claims that he bit Stevenage defender Ronnie Henry in a League Two encounter last month.

Labadie was previously banned for 10 games after an independent regulatory commission found him guilty of violent conduct, with two Chesterfield players - Armand Gnanduillet and Ollie Banks - claiming he had bitten them while playing for Torquay United last season.
