Theres always a reason why the media start picking on certain players and Suarez is giving the media a fair few reasons.

Suarez is innocent until proven guilty and the evidence, whatever it may be, you refer to is known only to the parties involved. If he is found guilty then he will take his punishment until then it's a charge and nothing more. The FA are obliged to investigate the incident because a complaint was made and they cannot just dismiss the complaint out of hand as there is the danger that it may discourage individuals who have genuinely suffered racial abuse from coming forward.
The media pick on certain players because it's a cheap-shot story and the sports journalists who inhabit the lower tiers of the food chain base their careers on churning out lazy, ill-informed drivel: sound-bite journalism tailored to influence the thinking of the masses. No different to the crap you read on the front of the mail or any of the other gutter red-tops.
