ZURICH, Switzerland (AFP) — Suspended FIFA vice-president Jack Warner has been accused of violating the terms of his ban from football over corruption allegations, it was reported yesterday.

Warner, the influential head of the Caribbean, North and Central American federation (CONCACAF) has been reported to FIFA after allegedly continuing to lobby delegates ahead of the football body’s congress.

The respected football politics website, insideworldfootball.biz, reported FIFA general secretary Jerome Valcke had been notified of Warner’s alleged violations by CONCACAF official Chuck Blazer.

“He has also been meeting with the members which is against the rules of the suspension,” Blazer told insideworldfootball. “He had sent people to tell them that he would be looking to meet with them.

“He was suspended exactly so he cannot do the things he is doing right now,” Blazer added.

Valcke did not immediately respond to emails from AFP seeking confirmation of the report.

Warner was suspended on Sunday over claims he conspired with Asian football head Mohamed bin Hammam to buy votes in an attempt to topple FIFA chief Sepp Blatter in upcoming presidential elections.

In a bizarre twist, Warner, who on Monday had declared that “Blatter must be stopped”, performed a U-turn on Tuesday, urging his region’s members in an open letter to vote for the Swiss official.

“At our last meeting we agreed as a union to support the incumbent Joseph Sepp Blatter in his quest to regain the Presidency,” Warner wrote.

“I wish to assure you nothing has changed — our mandate was set then and despite it all we must fulfil it.”
