The Court of Arbitration for Sport upheld Luis Suarez's four-month ban for biting an opponent at the World Cup, but cleared him Thursday to train with Barcelona. CAS said FIFA's sanctions against Suarez are ''generally proportionate to the offence committed.'' Suarez cannot play for Barcelona until Oct. 26, and he remains banned for Uruguay's next eight competitive matches. Suarez has admitted to biting Italy defender Giorgio Chiellini's shoulder during Uruguay's 1-0 win at the World Cup. ''The sanctions imposed on the player by FIFA have been generally confirmed,'' the court said in a statement.
