For me, his exclusion in the Ballon d'Or makes that list a total joke. What do you think? Continue for what he said.
Many pundits believe that the ban was the reason why the gifted attacker did not feature on Fifa's 23-strong shortlist for the Ballon d'Or but Suarez is mystified by his omission.
"Everyone brings it to attention," he told RAC-1. "As my Barca team-mate Gerard Pique said, they voted me as the best player in the most difficult league in the world, or one of the most difficult.
"I was also the highest goalscorer of all of the European leagues.
"It's strange that that I'm not on the list, but I prefer to keep quiet before saying things because every time that I speak there could be a problem."
For now, though, Suarez is solely concentrating on settling at Barca, with the attacker having ended up on the losing side in his first two competitive outings for the Catalans.
He freely admits that he struggled on his debut - despite setting up a goal for Neymar in a 3-1 defeat at Real Madrid - but felt more at home in last weekend's 1-0 loss to Celta at Camp Nou.
“As time goes on you become more accustomed to your team-mates," Suarez explained. "I took time training with them.
"At the Bernabeu I felt lost tactically, messy, and not well coordinated. But last week we worked to improve and, against Celta, when the ball does not want to go in, well, it does not want to go in.
"Obviously, though, some good things were done and bad things that we have to correct.”
Suarez will be hoping to break his Barca duck when Luis Enrique's men take on Champions League rivals Ajax at the Amsterdam ArenA on Wednesday.
