Suarez: Biting days over

Luis Suarez is ready to put his biting days behind him.

The Barcelona striker was officially presented to fans Tuesday at an event delayed for more than five weeks because of his suspension for biting an opponent at the World Cup.

Suarez said he was ready to "erase" his history of bad behaviour and start afresh with the Catalan club.

"I say to all the fans, don't worry, because I won't do that anymore," the former Liverpool striker said.

Suarez sank his teeth into the shoulder of Italy defender Giorgio Chiellini at the World Cup in June, earning him a four-month ban and further damaging his already tarnished reputation. The Court of Arbitration for Sport lessened his penalty last week, allowing him to start practising with Barcelona on Friday and playing the final minutes of a friendly on Monday.
