Venezuela star Arango suspended 2 games for biting

Xinhua, April 8, 2015 Adjust font size:

Former Venezuela international Juan Arango has been suspended for two matches for biting an opponent in the Mexican league last weekend.

A local disciplinary commission banned the veteran Tijuana playmaker after television images showed he bit Monterrey midfielder Jesus Zavala on the left shoulder during a game on Saturday.

Tijuana officials said Tuesday that the club also punished Arango for his actions, but they did not say how.

The 34-year-old Arango, who played for Mallorca in Spain and Borussia Moenchengladbach in Germany, participated in five Copa America editions with Venezuela. Endi
