The evidence against Suarez is his own admission, his account of events that lacks credibility, Evra's statement, Comolli's statement, Kuyt's statement (and other statements which aren't detailed in the report so probably not worth much). The evidence supporting his version of events - there is none. That's his big problem.
You don't need to show one person is lying and the other is not. You look at the totality of the evidence and decide which version of the story is more likely to have happened.
Is it Suarez's uncorroborated, unreliable evidence or is it Evra's evidence (which does have a couple of minor issues), coupled with statements from Kuyt, Comolli and the TV evidence.
There is only one conclusion that can be reached.

Just wanted to pick up on this one Ross. You say there is no evidence supporting Suarez's version of events then you have to apply the same to Evra's version to which there is no evidence and all of his team mates gave a different version of what was said by Evra? How is this corroborated or reliable ? What about the 'missing' interview with Evra on October 20th for which there was no transcript (our solicitor fucked up on this one). How do we know Evra has not changed his story over the 3 separate interviews and also given him chance to align his story with the video (which still doesnt align no matter how many times you watch it)
Show me where do you see him saying "Dale, negrito, negrito, negrito?"
What Suarez really said to Evra
There's inconsistency and discrepancies all over the place on both sides yet the one side is believed on some half baked concept of "probability".
The following words appear 50 times in the FA report:
Probable
Probably
Probability
Possible
Assume
Whereas the word 'Proven' does not appear at all...
