Uruguay face no consequences from this. If he doesn't do it their tournament is over, if he does the team progresses without one player. That's not consequences.

BTW, I'm not saying that what Suarez did was wrong, I've actually done the same thing myself in a game and would do it again, I just think the rule rewards a team for an illegal act.
Penalty and a red card is not rewarding a team for an illegal act.
Uruguay only face no consequences because the Ghanaian choked.
