Luis Suarez's biting incident may cost him his endorsements

888poker may cut off their ties from Luis Suarez

Uruguay striker Luis Suarez who is currently embroiled in another controversy for biting Giorgio Chiellini an Italian defender, may face financial troubles off the field as well.

888poker an online poker company which had signed a deal with the striker to sponsor him is considering snapping all business ties with Suarez.

In a tweet, the poker firm said about mulling the option of cutting all ties with the Liverpool player.

"We are reviewing our relationship with him. We will not tolerate unsporting behaviour," read the tweet.

Along with 888poker another company who seem to be thinking on the same lines is the sport firm Adidas.

Adidas had to face a lot of embarrassment last year when Suarez had bit Chelsea player Brainislav Ivanovic during an EPL match against Chelsea and was subsequently banned from playing.

Adidas, despite the incident decided to keep its business deal with the striker intact but with Suarez crossing the line and facing a possible ban, the sport firm may also consider pulling the plug as the last option in order to protect its image.

The biting incident has compelled FIFA to investigate the incident and the Uruguay striker faces the possibility of getting banned up to two years if found guilty.
