Barcelona striker Luis Suarez has been accused of cheating in Italian language exam he took recently.
Suarez needed to pass the exam to seal a move to Juventus. However, with the move collapsed, it has now emerged that Suarez passed the exam because he cheated.
He attempted to get an Italian passport through his wife, who is an Italian citizen. That would have allowed him to be registered as a citizen of the European Union and thus would not have counted towards Juve’s non-EU quota.
