Trinidad and To­ba­go Foot­ball Fed­er­a­tion Pres­i­dent Oliv­er Camps is stand­ing in the cor­ner of Jack Warn­er dur­ing his on­go­ing sus­pen­sion by FI­FA from all foot­ball-re­lat­ed ac­tiv­i­ties. Camps, who was in Zurich last week for the FI­FA Con­gress, has worked close­ly with Warn­er for a long time dat­ing back to the 1970s when he man­aged the T&T Se­nior Team straight up un­til 1992 dur­ing which time he be­came Pres­i­dent of the TTFF up to this day. "The Trinidad and To­ba­go Foot­ball Fed­er­a­tion, which is af­fil­i­at­ed to FI­FA, CON­CA­CAF and the CFU re­it­er­ates its sup­port for its Ad­vis­er Mr Austin Jack Warn­er in the mat­ter un­der con­sid­er­a­tion by the FI­FA," Camps stat­ed.

Mean­time, Ja­maican Foot­ball Fed­er­a­tion Pres­i­dent Cap­tain Ho­race Bur­rell is al­so sup­port­ing Warn­er and has de­fend­ed the Ja­maica Foot­ball Fed­er­a­tion (JFF) and the Caribbean Foot­ball Union (CFU), de­flect­ing sug­ges­tions of guilt in the bribery scan­dal which has rocked the foun­da­tions of FI­FA dur­ing a stormy pres­i­den­tial elec­tion cam­paign. "To re­store the in­tegri­ty of the re­gion, the present lead­ers of the Caribbean Foot­ball Union must call on all the fed­er­a­tions which re­ceived and kept the forty thou­sand US Dol­lars (US$40,000) bribe to re­turn it," stat­ed Bur­rell who is the act­ing Pres­i­dent of the Caribbean Foot­ball union in Warn­er's ab­sence. "FI­FA's Ethics Com­mit­tee is cur­rent­ly con­sid­er­ing the mat­ter and we await the fi­nal out­come of its in­ves­ti­ga­tion and due process," Bur­rell not­ed. "Let me state cat­e­gor­i­cal­ly that the JFF was not of­fered, nei­ther re­ceived, any funds pri­or to, dur­ing or af­ter the ref­er­enced CFU meet­ing held May 10-11 in Trinidad," the act­ing CFU head stat­ed.
