Fifa ban Concacaf hopeful and Authorities take action against Austin and Warner has vacated his roles with the Concacaf federation and Fifa.

The power struggle to take over for the Fifa vice presidency vacated by a Jack Warner has taken another twist after the world governing body announced and they have again banned Lisle Austin from football related activities and the austin went to court in the Bahamas last week to try to force through his appointment as successor to Jack Warner as president of the Concacaf confederation of countries from north and central America and the Caribbean - a position which includes being a Fifa vice-president.

Austin from Barbados, had been banned by Concacaf and Fifa but the 75-year-old, a long-time ally of Warner's, emerged from the court claiming victory and the Fifa's disciplinary committee have taken further action against him specifically for his decision to go to the civil courts rather than the Court of a Arbitration of Sport.

Fifa's statutes say "recourse to ordinary courts of law is prohibited unless specifically provided for in the Fifa regulations" and the Fifa spokesman said, "We can confirm that he has been provisionally suspended by the disciplinary committee on Monday for lodging a claim in front of the State Court of Bahamas."

Warner announced last month he was quitting football after being provisionally suspended by the Fifa on bribery charges and the alfredo Hawitt from Honduras has assumed the role of acting president of Concacaf.
