Unlike the debatable element of his bite during his time here, this one is quite a bit more conclusive. The Stevenage player puts his hands down in front of him to grab the ball and it looks very much like Labadie lifts his opponent's arms up to his mouth.

If found guilty, the same ban that Saurez got would probably be fairest.

Labadie accused of biting

Stevenage boss Graham Westley has revealed police are looking into an accusation from defender Ronnie Henry that he was bitten on the hand by Dagenham midfielder Joss Labadie in their 1-0 home defeat.
Labadie served a 10-match ban and was fined £2,000 in March 2014 for biting Chesterfield's Ollie Banks in a Sky Bet League 2 match while playing for Torquay - a charge which he denied.

Westley claimed Henry was "horrified" by Saturday's alleged incident which happened shortly before full-time and said: "I think it has become a police matter and when it becomes a police matter anybody in a responsible position should let it be dealt with by the authorities.

"So in passing comment, word is around the place that there's been an incident and the police are involved.

"He's (Henry) not in a good situation, he's in the treatment room and he's suffered quite a nasty injury.

"Ronnie was in a state of shock, you don't go on a football pitch expecting to lose your finger and Ronnie was horrified by what has gone on because it's a football match and he's nearly lost his finger."

The game had already threatened to boil over before Labadie and Henry's clash due to the nature of Dagenham's winning goal.

Labadie was clearly offside when a long ball was played forwards in his direction yet he did not touch it, Christian Doidge took over and crossed for Dean Howell to score.

But only after long consultation with his assistant did referee Dean Whitestone award the goal.

Thankfully he is no longer our player so someone else's mess to sort out. It must be remembered at this stage this is nothing more than, an allegation, should it be proven and he's found guilty then he must be facing a 6 month ban at least, this sort thing can't be tolerated and a second offence to boot.

It seems there is another allegation of biting from him today. If this is right and he's found guilty, it will be interesting to see how D&R handle it as I would find it hard to imagine that they do manage the situation worse than we did!!
