Rejected petition Stop the FA dealing with criminal cases

More details

After the FAs handling of the Luis Suarez racism claim, the FA found a man guilty of a criminal offence on the basis of probability.
This goes against the principles of British Justice,[renowned throughout the world].
Any case in future deemed to be a criminal act should be handed over to the police and courts to decide guilt.
The FA should never have the power to appoint judge , jury, and sentencing, in criminal proceedings.
The FA also refuse any appeals against conviction, this is also in contradiction to British law.
