@Euhum & Brokos:
I suppose I should have been proactive and done my own research b4 validating Brokos.
Brokos, turns out you are wrong in just about everything you posted below. I just spent some time trying to figure out who CAS is and what their jurisdiction is... They in no shape or form "answer to FIFA" as you suggested. They are "federated" by the IOC and can only be "over turned" by appeal to the Swiss Federal Tribunal.
2ndly turns out FECAFOOT was actually ahead of us all in this one then. CAS statutes state you can only file a complain after arbitration.
3rdly, that FIFA article 69 is in reference to FIFA's financial cycle! Nothing to do with suspensions. Articles 14 & 15 on the other hand do deal with suspensions/expulsions and in no way state what you claim. As a matter of fact, Article 60 clearly recognizes CAS authority over FIFA by stating that is the ONLY organ that can over turn a FIFA Appeal committee's decision.
You might want to direct us to where you got your details from Brokos.
