Livingston chairman Gordon McDougall has written to Scottish Football Association president George Peat demanding an investigation into the conduct of chief executive Gordon Smith.
McDougall is unhappy with Smith's alleged involvement in disciplinary proceedings against the club's striker Robbie Winters over allegations of diving.
Winters was this week cleared of the offence by the SFA after video evidence of Livi's Irn-Bru Third Division win at East Stirling on February 20 was viewed at Hampden, but McDougall has hit out at with the way the process was handled.
Smith, who has campaigned against the scourge of diving in football, attended February's game, which saw Michael Bolochoweckyj receive a second booking for a foul on Winters.
McDougall claims the SFA chief asked for a DVD of the match from home manager Jim McInally.
The Livi chairman says the SFA have since informed him Shire owner Spencer Fearn made a complaint against Winters three days after the game.
McDougall said: "I find it quite astonishing this information was kept from myself, Robbie and the disciplinary committee. It's either gross incompetence or an attempt to mislead folk.
"Either way, I feel Gordon Smith has overstepped his authority and that is why I'll be writing to George Peat."
Smith said in the Scottish Sun: "I've no problem with anyone looking into my involvement."
