Warner accuses Hammam, Blatter of buying votes

Suspended FIFA vice-president Jack Warner on Monday released his threatened "football tsunami", an e-mail that claims Mohamed Bin Hammam "bought" the 2022 World Cup finals for Qatar, and that FIFA president Sepp Blatter bought votes in his presidential campaign.

Accoring to a printout displayed by Warner, FIFA general secretary Jerome Valcke admitted he sent the e-mail, which also questioned why Asian football boss Bin Hammam was running for FIFA president.

In the e-mail Valcke wrote: "(Hammam) thought you are able to buy FIFA as they bought the World Cup."

Bin Hammam was suspended a matter of hours right after withdrawing from the FIFA presidential race on Sunday morning.

Warner also accused Blatter of making a gift of computers and an unauthorised one million U.S. dollars to CONCACAF officials.

"I indicated that at the Miami CONCACAF Congress on May 3, Mr. Blatter made a gift of one million dollars to CONCACAF to spend as it deems fit," Warner said in a statement.

"This annoyed UEFA president Michel Platini who was present and he approached secretary general Jerome Valcke complaining that Mr. Blatter had no permission from the finance committee to make this gift to which Jerome replied that he will discover the funds for Mr. Blatter.

"I also indicated FIFA, by way of Mr. Blatter, organised gifts of laptops and projectors to all members of the Caribbean and no objections have been created today of this to date," he said.
