Advantage: Blazer and the Executive Committee.. looks like FIFA is treating Blazer and the Executive Committee Rump as the legitimate authorities here. http://af.reuters.com/article/sportsNews/idAFJOE7580FZ20110609?sp=true FIFA on Thursday extended Lisle Austin's suspension by CONCACAF to a worldwide ban but the Barbadian official said he was the genuine head of the body and had been the victim of a power grab. Austin was provisionally barred by CONCACAF last week having been in charge of the organisation for just four days following the suspension of the body's long-standing president Jack Warner, who is facing corruption allegations. While Warner was suspended by FIFA after allegations of bribery and pending further investigations by its ethics committee, no such charges have been made against Austin. CONCACAF has declined to explain the detailed reason for Austin's removal, official documents referring only to an "apparent infringement" of statutes. "We can confirm that FIFA has today notified CONCACAF that the FIFA disciplinary committee has extended the provisional suspension of Lisle Austin at a worldwide level," FIFA said in an email to Reuters. The decision bars Austin, for the time being, from taking part in any soccer activities or forums internationally. FIFA would not explain the reasons for the decision, saying CONCACAF was the body that made the initial ban.
C'mon big fish, time to feast on some minnows and rebuild this rotten house known as CONCACAF from the foundation. I think actual nation states should count more than dependencies or there should be a population threshold.
Which is stupid of him. Because now, FIFA can drop the heavy end of the hammer. on Barbados. They REALLY don't like Government/Court interference in national/regional FA affairs.
