Claudio Pizarro and Jefferson Farfan Suspended from Peru's National Soccer Selection

Peru's 2010 World Cup Commission announced this evening that Santiago Acasiete, Andrés Mendoza, Claudio Pizarro and Jefferson Farfan would be suspended from playing on Peru's National Soccer team until further notice.

Acasiete, Mendoza, Pizarro and Farfan are suspended from playing on the national selection for having broken standard regulations after the Brazil - Peru match on November 18, said Peru's World Cup Commission.

It was announced that the players would be suspended until an appropriate punishment had been established.

According to a report released by the commission, the players took part in a party with alcohol and women after the Brazil match and just days before Ecuador routed Peru 5-1.

Peru's World Cup Commission decided to open an investigation after Peruvian journalist, Jaime Bayly stated the players had taken part in a party on his interview show El Francotirador.

The World Cup Commission announced that its decision is being made on evidence provided by the hotel where Acasiete, Mendoza, Pizarro and Farfan were lodged, Hotel Golf Los Incas.
