In a brief statement Saturday, the Confederation of North, Central America and Caribbean Association Football (CONCACAF) said there was no truth to Warner’s claim, reports CMC.
“CONCACAF has had no discussions with Warner regarding, nor does it consent to the undertaking of, any legal action against David Simmons, any other member of the Integrity Committee, any member or executive of CONCACAF or any member of the Football community.
“CONCACAF fully supports the findings of the independent Integrity Committee,” read the statement.
Warner, who was accused of masterminding a bribery scandal which plagued the Caribbean Football Union (CFU), was forced to resign as a vice president of football’s world governing body, FIFA, and his posts as president of CONCACAF and CFU.
But Warner found himself in deeper controversy when a CONCACAF report, prepared by Simmons, revealed details of Warner’s wrongdoing which eventually led to his resignation as a member of Trinidad and Tobago’s parliament.
The embattled former football executive formed his own political party and was re-elected to parliament by an overwhelming majority in a recent by-election.
