Austin: I’m back

PORT-OF-SPAIN, Trinidad – Barbadian Lisle Austin says he is back at the head of CONCACAF after gaining a court injunction in the Bahamas on Friday.
According to a statement from Austin, the High Court in Bahamas granted a provisional injunction which prevents CONCACAF’s executive committee from inferring with his role as acting president.
CONCACAF’s Statutes establish the Bahamian capital of Nassau as the headquarters of the Confederation and classifies the Organisation as “a Bahamian not-for-profit corporation”. 
A week ago, Austin was suspended from acting as president following a decision by the majority of the executive committee.
Austin, a CONCACAF senior vice-president, has been accused of violating the organisation’s statues. 
He assumed the position after sitting president Jack Warner was suspended by FIFA’s ethics committee pending an investigation into bribery allegations. (CMC)
