SANTIAGO — Chile defender Gonzalo Jara was thrown out of the Copa America Sunday over his attempt to shove his finger into the backside of Uruguay striker Edinson Cavani, the Chilean Football Federation confirmed. A statement said Jara had been suspended for three matches following a disciplinary hearing by South American football's ruling body CONMEBOL into the lurid flashpoint during last week's quarterfinal. The ban rules Jara out of Chile's semifinal with Peru Monday as well as the final if the host's progress that far. Jara triggered a wave of revulsion and condemnation over his bizarre assault on Cavani, who was sent off for retaliating as a result. — AP
