Ex-FIFA vice-president Jack Warner joins rally after leaving jail due to exhaustion

Former FIFA vice-president Jack Warner reportedly leaves jail in an ambulance after complaining of exhaustion and hours later attends a political rally.

Former FIFA vice-president Jack Warner joined a political rally just hours after reportedly leaving jail in an ambulance after complaining of exhaustion.

The ex-CONCACAF president was one of 14 football officials indicted by the US authorities this week on allegations of bribery, money laundering and corruption.

Just two days before the FIFA presidency election, it was alleged that more than $100m (£65m) was accepted in bribes from the 1990s to the present day.

Warner was detained in a Trinidad and Tobago jail after pleading guilty to corruption charges, but according to The Mirror, the 72-year-old complained of exhaustion and left the precinct in an ambulance.

Hours later, Warner attended a political rally in support of the Independent Liberal Party and told members: "If I have been thieving FIFA money for 30 years, who give me the money? How come he is not charged? Why only persons from Third World countries have been charged?"

Meanwhile, FIFA president Sepp Blatter told Congress at today's election that "you can't ask everybody to behave ethically just like that".
