Liverpool striker Luis Suarez has claimed that doesn't have any regrets over his race-row with Manchester United defender Patrice Evra - after branding the case as "false".

The Uruguayan was found guilty of racially abusing the French left-back in 2011, and was banned for eight games by the Football Association.

Upon his return to action, the former Ajax man refused to shake hands with Evra in a game at Old Trafford, but Suarez says the case that was brought against him was one without foundation.

He told Sport890 AM: "Let me tell you, I've made only two mistakes in my career. My first was when I was playing for Ajax and I bit an opponent. My second was when I bit (Branislav) Ivanovic.

"The case with (Patrice) Evra was all false. I was accused without proof. But that's in the past. I was sad at that moment, but I'm happy today. I have grown up. I have thought more about things before doing them.

"Now people in England can't talk about me because I'm not doing anything wrong. They have to talk about me only as a footballer. I said I'm sorry (after the Ivanovic bite) and that was all, end of story. I've nothing else to regret. All the other things were like a movie that people in England believed in."

Suarez's comments are unlikely to go down well in the corridors of power at Anfield after the club stood by their star forward despite coming in for criticism for their decision to wear t-shirts in his honour against Wigan following his ban by the FA.

The Reds have tried to move on from the storm, and Suarez has slowly started to develop a cleaner persona among the eyes of a few this season.

The former Ajax man has plundered 23 goals for the Reds this season, despite missing the first five matches after he was banned for 10 games for the bite on Chelsea defender Ivanovic in a 2-2 draw at Anfield in April last year.
