Executive Committee to rule on conflict of interest
At its meeting in Zurich yesterday (Wednesday, 15 February) under the chairmanship of Senes Erzik (Turkey), the Committee for Ethics and Fair Play dealt with a number of issues including that of FIFA vice-president Jack A. Warner (Trinidad and Tobago), who had himself brought the matter to the committee's attention.
The committee concluded that because of his involvement with Simpaul Travel Service in Port-of-Spain, FIFA vice-president Jack A. Warner has a conflict of interest with regard to ticketing for the 2006 FIFA World Cup™, and as a result, he has violated FIFA's Code of Ethics. The FIFA Executive Committee will now discuss this matter on 16-17 March 2006.

Can you all believe this guy WHAT DOES HE WANT come on people REASON IT OUT
This was taken from a secret tape recorder hidden in Jack's brief case sometime ago...
OC : Aye Jack boy how yuh going ?
JW : Doh bodder mih when ah counting money man! And move away from here quick, if yuh not accustomed to the smell of new dollars, it could make you sick.
OC : Sorry, but hear nah...people come by me arksin questions 'bout de tickets thing boy.
JW : True ? Doh f..k mih up nah ?...ah better take in front before in front take me sah.
Recorder stops and starts back with JW in front of the Ethics Committee
JW : Hear nah, I want to bring something to allyuh attention.
EC : What's up Jacko ol boy...that 'bird friend' of yours still causing trouble for you ?
JW : Yeah boy, so ah want to set the record straight because ah eh have nothing to hide.
EC : Go on Jacko, tell us more.
JW : Well when de executive did meet de last time, and the talk 'bout tickets did come up...that was right after we talk 'bout Sven and he woman friend and dem...I thought dey did say we as exec members COULD sell tickets for ourselves ONCE we make sure is okay with the respective associations and dem first. And it must be done indirectly thru some other affiliated organisation. So I did clear it wid mih
horse boss, Oliver, first and he say is okay. I must state frankly that I was not aware of any guidelines or rules that I may have broken. Mih pardner Ramesh Maharaj here on my right could testify to that. I must also state that Mr Camps, should have been the one to inform me, seeing that it was really HIS tickets.
EC : Well Jacko, you know this is a serious matter...you DID break the rules...however it WAS big of you to come forward and inform us lad. Things could have gotten nasty if we had taken that bird fella seriously last christmas. Anyway we'll see what we can do at the next meeting in March. Your coming forward could just save your arse Jacko. So how's the wife and family ?
JW : Everybody cool, de big boy learning to play football now...I hope he would follow in my footsteps some day soon too. There should be an opening for a top TTFF post soon...maybe he might qualify.
