The president of Zimbabwe Robert Mugabe has slammed Liverpool�s Uruguayan striker as �highly unprofessional� for biting Chelsea defender Ivanovic during a Premier League some weeks ago.
The dictatorial president says football is not like war and had some strong words for the Uruguayan after the controversial incident during Liverpool�s match against Chelsea.
Liverpool striker Luis Suarez has received some criticism from the most unlikely of sources, as Robert Mugabe, the dictatorial president of Zimbabwe, labelled the Uruguayan �highly unprofessional�.
The remarks come in response to the now-infamous incident at Anfield in April when Suarez appeared to bite Branislav Ivanovic during the Reds� Premier League fixture against Chelsea.
Mugabe, himself a more than controversial figure, is said to be a Chelsea fan and reserved some strong words for the Uruguayan forward.
�It was highly unprofessional for Luis Suarez to bite Branislav Ivanovic,� the 89-year old said according to the Sunday People. �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�?�
