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.

 

Hopoate was sacked by his club Wests-Tigers but joined rival club Northern Eagles in June 2001.

[REZK one]

just reading this title made me laugh and than keel over and grab my own balls thinking more about it. that shit is crazy some sports like that seem too homo erotic. i always here about people at my school that play sports like that and always have stories about how gay their teammates act and are.

[Guest ceas902]

I hate stories like that... they hurt my stomach... I know a guy that cheated on his girlfriend, so his girlfriend kicked him in the nuts so hard he had to get them sergicly removed from his stomach.... I would have shot the bitch dead.......

[High Priest]

this is the type of thing i would expect to happen with rollerblading, not football.

[AeRoSoL JuNkiE]

this is why I dont play sports...

if that happened in boxing they'd ban him for life. you don't bite people, that's just dirty. what a weak excuse too, he was getting suffocated, come on, that's bullshit, you don't fucking suffocate in thirty seconds. and how many other people got bitten in the ass or the big toe or wherever before this happened, i mean it's the last place i'd expect to be bitten, this must be some kind of common practise amongst these people.

 

^ just playing, i love all sports equally for the fact that they might be someone else's hockey.

[Guest uncle-boy]

maybe he was hungry?:o
