FIFA Vice President Jack Warner, who faces an ethics hearing in soccer's widening bribery scandal today, has predicted that a "football tsunami" is about to strike the sport's governing body.
Warner, who said there was "not a single iota" of wrongdoing on his part, will answer questions at FIFA headquarters in Zurich along with President Sepp Blatter and the man challenging the incumbent in this Wednesday's election, Mohammed bin Hammam. "I tell you something, in the next couple of days you will see a football tsunami that will hit FIFA and the world that will shock you," Warner said in comments reported by multiple newspapers in his home country of Trinidad and Tobago. Warner and Qatari challenger bin Hammam are accused of offering bribes to voters on a Caribbean campaign visit. Blatter faces allegations that he ignored alleged corruption attempts.
