Trinidad’s Minister of Transport and Works and FIFA Vice President Jack Warner is among two FIFA officials suspended by football’s governing body ahead of an ethics probe. Warner, along with Qatar’s Mohammed bin Hammam, the head of Asia’s soccer confederation, will face a full inquiry. Bin Hammam, who had been a candidate for the FIFA presidency, withdrew today. “We are satisfied that there is a case to be answered,” said Petrus Damaseb, deputy chairman of FIFA’s ethics committee.
