You must have a weird definition of absence of evidence. Suarez's conduct after the event, his conflicting statement to the FA, the experts views on his defence, and even his apology now where he doesn't apologise to Evra, just for making Liverpool look bad, is plenty of evidence.

But then some people would still defend him if he was caught walking around Liverpool wearing a klans mans uniform.
Nobody is denying he used racist comments. But that does not automatically make him a racist. The FA will not (and indeed cannot) take action against someone purely because they are racist.

His subsequent petulant attitude is more to do with him being of the belief that the punishment did not fit the crime.
