Soccer:Concacaf has suspended acting president Lisle Austin from all football activity for an alleged infringement of the confederation's statutes and has requested Fifa extend the ban worldwide.

Austin was deputising for Jack Warner after the Trinidadian’s suspension by the world governing body, but immediately caused controversy when he attempted to sack the United States’ Fifa representative Chuck Blazer, the whistleblower whose evidence sparked the Fifa corruption scandal.

Blazer was reinstated by Concacaf and Barbadian Austin has now himself been banned, effective from Thursday, June 2nd, for “possible violations of Concacaf statutes, Fifa statutes, regulations, decisions and Code of Ethics and breach of fiduciary duty to Concacaf”.

Concacaf’s website confirmed vice-president Alfredo Hawit, from Honduras, will step into the role as an interim measure.
