FORMER Vice-President, FIFA, Jack Warner, says he is ready to expose the details of President of the world's football body, Joseph Blatter’s excesses latest by Wednesday.

A former close ally of Blatter, Warner insists he would not go down alone after his suspension from FIFA over bribery allegations.

"The FIFA president cannot continue faux pas after faux pas with impunity especially when all his wrongdoings are along the same vector of megalomania covert racism and discrimination, "Warner said a meeting between FIFA and Caribbean Football Union officials about the future of football governance in the Caribbean.

"The time has come to break the silence. One must no longer accept silence as affirming the wrong being perpetuated by the FIFA. In this regard I have decided to break my silence," he added.

Among the atrocities Warner claimed Blatter commited is improper accountability on television rights and disrespect to non- European countries.

"The FIFA president must not be allowed to continue the demeaning of people of colour without someone raising a voice to tell him enough is enough,” he explained.

And the FIFA "infigting" continues even at Christmas! :lol:

We know Blatter's recent utterances on racism were rather backwards and clumsy, but Warner is a man who played the race-card when the BBC exposed his black-market ticket dealings, so I think his accusations of racism can be easily discounted. If however, he wishes to spill the beans on any genuine Blatter corruption I'd certainly be all ears! :lol:

Exactly, and governments and football fans expect at the very least transparency and accountability from the world governing body.

Besides which, bribes, black-market ticketing scams and the like are illegal, private organisation or not.

Fair enough. Still, as I learned in the law school: "Actori incumbit onus probandi"

That doesn't make them above the laws of Switzerland especially because they were given special tax-break laws. The least the Swiss gov't expects is that they operate honestly and ethically so that there will be no need to ask for transparency. And if the fishy business has been going on for decades, then the Swiss gov't certainly has to step in and examine this special child's operations because it makes THEM look bad extending their protection onto a corrupt organization--private or not.
