ZURICH (AP)—CONCACAF’s acting president has asked Chuck Blazer to explain why he turned over evidence that sparked one of the worst corruption scandals in FIFA’s 107-year history.

Lisle Austin also wants CONCACAF, which represents North and Central America and the Caribbean, to cease dealings with John P. Collins, the former federal prosecutor who investigated Blazer’s allegations of wrongdoing.

Jack Warner, longtime CONCACAF president and a FIFA vice president, and Mohamed bin Hammam were suspended Sunday over allegations they tried to bribe Caribbean football leaders for their votes in this week’s FIFA presidential election.

Bin Hammam, a Qatari who leads Asia’s football confederation, had been Sepp Blatter’s only challenger in Wednesday’s election.
