MELBOURNE (Reuters) - Former Sydney Swans Australian Rules player Peter Filandia was suspended for 10 matches on Wednesday

after pleading guilty to biting an opponent's testicles during a game last week.

 

Filandia, 31, was playing for Port Melbourne against Springvale in the Australian Football League's feeder competition, the Victorian Football League (VFL).

 

St. Kilda AFL player Chad Davis, playing for Springvale, suffered a perforated scrotum and lost a small amount of blood, a club doctor told the VFL tribunal in Melbourne. He also needed a tetanus injection.

 

 

Filandia told the tribunal he could not breathe when he

became entangled with Davis and bit him as a reflex action.

 

 

However, Filandia did not know which part of his

opponent's body he had bitten, he said. "It was a split-second decision," Filandia told reporters after the hearing.

 

Tribunal chairman Eddie Power ordered Filandia to undergo player counseling before resuming playing.

 

In a similar case last year, former rugby league

international John Hopoate was banned by the Australian National Rugby League for 12 weeks after poking a finger up the backside of an opponent.

this is without a doubt the hottest sport to watch. Every guy is beautiful and the skimpy uniforms are soooo cute.

I used to run across it regularly surfing on timewarner in nyc, but haven't for months.

Is there a regular station and schedule that anyone knows of?
