Samuel Eto'o is not planning to lodge an appeal against the 15-game suspension he was handed by the Cameroonian Football Federation.
The Anzhi Makhachkala striker was given ten days to decide whether he was going to contest the verdict, but he has now opted to allow the ban to stand.
"Samuel Eto'o will not appeal this decision because he's a victim of a gross injustice," barrister Gabriel Perfect Kaldjob told Xinhua.
"You cannot sanction the spokesman of a group in this manner. Eto'o was defending the collective interest of the players of the national team.
"This sanction is aimed at ending the international career of my client with Cameroon."
The 30-year-old was handed the punishment for a role in a players' strike.
