“I just wanted to kill him,” Tyson revealed in his recent autobiography I read. “I was furious, I was an undisciplined soldier and I lost my composure. So I bit him in the ear.”
he piece of ear was found in the ring but was unable to be reattached. Tyson was disqualified, fined $3 million and banned for life - though he got the ban overturned.
JAMES GRAHAM
(Rugby League)
Bulldogs
prop James Graham pleaded his innocence but how else to explain Billy Slater’s
bloodied ear and the subsequent tooth marks following a clinch with Englishman
in the 2012 grand final? As in the Suarez case the video tells the story.
During the judiciary hearing the defence suggested “perhaps sharp teeth came
into contact with (Slater’s ear) without an actual bite”. The defence told
Graham to tell his story walking and was given a 12-game suspension to think
about his actions. DYLAN HARTLEY (Rugby Union)
England hooker Dylan Hartley is a serial offender when it comes to sickening on-field acts with his rap sheet including eye-gouging, referee abuse and yes, you guessed it … biting.
The Northampton and England rake had already served a six-month ban for gouging when he was judged to have bitten Ireland flanker Stephen Ferris in the 2012 Six Nations.
Hartley received an eight-week ban for biting the finger of Ferris and was back in the news the following year when he was sent-off in the Aviva Premiership final for calling referee Wayne Barnes a “fxxxing cheat”.
PETER FILANDIA (AFL)
Standing at
just 168cm, Essendon and Sydney Swans goal sneak Peter Filandia was best known
through his AFL career for his diminutive stature. Peter
Filandia went where few men have on the sporting field.But he’ll forever be remembered as the guy who
bit an opponent’s scrotum shortly after his AFL career had finished.
Filandia
joined VFL side Port Melbourne as its captain-coach following the end of his
career with the Swans, which wound up in 2000.
Then,
playing against Springvale early in the 2002 season, Filandia had the ultimate
brain snap, biting the scrotum of Chad Davis when the pair became tangled up on
the ground. Filandia was
suspended for 10 matches after pleading guilty at the tribunal, despite his
reasoning that he had “panicked” and bit David as a “reflex action” because his
face was smothered and he couldn’t breathe.Filandia said he had no idea which part of Davis’s body he was biting at the time.
Springvale’s club doctor said Davis had suffered bruising to his scrotum and lost a small amount of blood as a result of Filandia’s bite.
TOMMY RAUDONIKIS (Rugby League)
The ultimate footy larrikan recently relived his role as the ‘Phantom Biter’ who chomped on Johnny Gibbs’s nose during a NSWRL match. “I got fined by the NSWRL but Geoff Prenter, the editor of Rugby League Week, paid it for me. I would get life if I did that these days. I did bite him on the nose. He got four stitches on one side and three on the other. I did a pretty good job of it. I was concussed at the time ... so I tell everyone. He was lucky I did not bite it off.”
FRANCISCO GALLARDO (Football)
Gallardo was pretty pumped up when his Sevilla FC teammate Jose Antonio Reyes scored a goal during a match in 2001. So he flopped on top of him and bit him on the penis. The Royal Spanish Football Association declared the act a violation of “sporting dignity and decorum” when fining and banning Gallardo. But he retorted: “I am sure I didn’t offend anyone. I don’t think what I did was very noteworthy.”
